Abstract
A normal co-ordinate treatment of the NO 3 ion is given and used to explore the effects of nitrato complex formation on infra-red spectra. By considering the unidentate complex Cs 2U(NO 3) 6 and the bidentate complex RbUO 2(NO 3) 3 it is shown that while the splitting of a band at about 1400 cm −1 is a good criterion of complex formation, its magnitude is not suitable for deciding between unidentate and bidentate complexes. A better criterion, based upon far infra-red spectra of the metal—oxygen stretching frequencies is suggested and experimental work in support of this suggestion is presented.
