Abstract

Raman, infrared, and proton magnetic resonance spectra of solutions of zinc nitrate in anhydrous methanol are reported. It is concluded that above −30 °C the zinc and nitrate ions can form contact ion-pairs, but that below −30 °C association is limited to the formation of solvent-separated ion-pairs. The apparent solvation number of zinc, as determined by area measurements on the proton magnetic resonance spectra, decreases with increasing solute concentration, and an interpretation of this effect is given.
