Nitrosonium nitrate, NO+NO3−, a red solid, has been studied spectroscopically at temperatures ranging up to 205°K. Reproducible shifts of fundamental frequencies upon warming suggest two crystalline transformations between 79° and 205°K. The γ-, β-, and α-phase have been observed under nonequilibrium conditions in the following temperature ranges, respectively: 79°—185°, 167°—187°, 167°—205°K. The fundamental frequencies of the constituent ions in the γ, β, and α phase are: ν(NO)+: 2215, 2271, 2251 cm−1; ν3: 1364, 1324, 1328 cm−1; ν2: 819, 827, 812 cm−1; ν4: 716, 716, 711 cm−1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
