Abstract

Geometric analysis of carefully refined inorganic nitrate crystal structures shows that weak aplanarities of the NO3-group, i.e. with a distanced of the nitrogen atom from the plane defined by the three oxygen atoms up tod∼0.02 Å, are by no means rare exceptions. Much larger aplanarities have been reported to occur in some crystal structures or follow from the published structure data, but all examples withd>0.05 Å seem to need confirmation.

Zusammenfassung

Die geometrische Analyse sorgfältig verfeinerter Kristallstrukturen anorganischer Nitrate zeigt, daß schwache Aplanaritäten dieser Gruppe — d. h. solche mit einem Abstandd des Stickstoffs von der Ebene der drei Sauerstoffe bisd ∼ 0,02 Å — keineswegs seltene Ausnahmen sind. Viel größere Aplanaritäten wurden zwar beschrieben oder ergeben sich aus den veröffentlichten Strukturdaten; alle Beispiele mitd>0,05 Å scheinen jedoch einer Bestätigung zu bedürfen.
