Infrared absorption spectra studies in (NaNO3–NaNO2) system

A complete infrared study of the mixed crystal system of NaNO₃ and NaNO₂ is carried out in the region 600—3000 cm^—1 at room temperature. The study includes fundamental internal normal vibrations of the NO^—₂ and NO^—₃ ions. The IR spectra, spectral band shape intensities, combination modes, and frequencies of the internal modes were studied as a function of NO^—₃ ion concentration. Special attention is paid to the bending mode, the combination mode, and a symmetric stretching mode.
