TL;DR: The mass spectral data suggest that the salt undergoes thermal decomposition into neutral particles which are then vapourized and ionized as well as oxidized as mentioned in this paper, and the heat of phase transformation is calculated to be 2.5 kcal/mol.
Abstract: Thermal decomposition of tetraethylammonium perchlorate has been studied by thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis and mass spectrometry. The title compound undergoes crystallographic transformation at 98°C and explodes at 298°C. The heat of phase transformation is calculated to be 2.5 kcal/mol. The mass spectral data suggest that the salt undergoes thermal decomposition into neutral particles which are then vapourized and ionized as well as oxidized.

TL;DR: In this article, the normal modes of vibration are illustrated and corresponding vibrational frequencies are listed for each type, including diatomic, triatomic, fouratomic, five-atomic, six-atomic and seven-atomic types.
Abstract: Inorganic molecules (ions) and ligands are classified into diatomic, triatomic, four-atomic, five-atomic, six-atomic, and seven-atomic types, and their normal modes of vibration are illustrated and the corresponding vibrational frequencies are listed for each type. Molecules of other types are grouped into compounds of boron, carbon, silicon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur, and the structures and infrared (IR)/Raman spectra of select examples are shown for each group. Group frequency charts including band assignments are shown for phosphorus and sulfur compounds. Other group frequency charts include hydrogen stretching frequencies, halogen stretching frequencies, oxygen stretching and bending frequencies, inorganic ions, and metal complexes containing simple coordinating ligands. Keywords: inorganic compounds; coordination compounds; diatomic molecules (ligands); triatomic molecules (ligands); four-atomic molecules (ligands); five-atomic molecules (ligands); six-atomic molecules (ligands); seven-atomic molecules (ligands); boron compounds; carbon compounds; silicon compounds; nitrogen compounds; phosphorus compounds; sulfur compounds; group frequency charts
