The change of the spin state of Co3+ as function of temperature or pressure is an intriguing feature of cobalt-based perovskite compounds. In the layered cobaltites RBaCo2O5O5.5 this problem is rather complicated due to the octahedral and opened square pyramidal coordinations of Co with oxygen. Raman spectroscopy can provide information about subtle changes in spin state through detecting changes of the phonon spectra, which are sensitive to the O-Co-O bonding length and angles. Raman spectra of single crystal GdBaCo2O5O5.5 were measured in the temperature range 5 - 400 K and remarkable changes of frequencies and intensities were observed. Frequencies and eigenvectors of Raman active phonon modes have been defined using frozen phonon ab initio band structure calculations and structural data at 300 K in Pmmm setting.
