Abstract:The crystallization, single-crystal structure, and Raman spectroscopy of Ra(NO3)2 have been investigated by experiment and theory, which represent the first, pure radium compound characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Ra2+ centers are bound by six chelating nitrate anions to form an anticuboctahedral geometry. The Raman spectrum acquired from a single crystal of Ra(NO3)2 generally occurs at a lower frequency than found in Ba(NO3)2 as expected. Computational studies on Ra(NO3)2 provide an estima… Show more
