Characterization of zinc hydroxynitrates by diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy--structural modifications during thermal treatment.
Four zinc hydroxynitrates are known, but only the Infrared spectrum of Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2.2H2O is reported in the literature. Here, we report the IR spectra of the other three zinc hydroxynitrates, namely Zn(OH)(NO3).H2O, Zn3(OH)4(NO3)2 and Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2. The positions of the bands of the nitrate groups between 1000 and 1600 cm(-1) are discussed in relation to the structure of these compounds. The modifications of these IR spectra with temperature are consistent with previous studies on the thermal decomposition of these compounds.
