Abstract

Stereochemical features of 950 nitrate groups in the structures of 365 inorganic nitrates were analyzed using TOPOS software. The types of coordination of nitrate groups are systematized by means of Voronoi-Dirichlet polyhedra and the method of intersecting spheres. Terminal coordination (53% of the total number of nitrate groups), most of all terminal bidentate coordination (47%) was found to prevail. Bridging nitrate groups occur less frequently (20%). A considerable number of nitrate groups are not incorporated in the coordination sphere of the complexing atom but form H-bonds or bonds of mainly ionic nature (27%). A number of metal cations show clear-cut tendency for a certain mode of coordination of the NO3 group. Criteria for classification of nitrate groups into four types (slightly distorted groups and groups with monodentate, bidentate and asymmetric type distortion) are proposed. Structural features of nitrate groups depending on the mode of coordination are considered. The geometry of mono- or bidentate nitrate groups can differ appreciably from the typical one because of participation of terminal oxygen atoms in ionic or hydrogen bonds.
