Structural and vibrational studies of anilinium nitrate Original Research Article

The crystals of anilinium nitrate, View the MathML sourceC6H8N+·NO3−, were obtained by slow evaporation of an aqueous solution. The crystals belong to the Pbca (no. 61) space group of orthorhombic system, Z =8, a =10.158(2), b =9.277(2), c =16.177(3) Å. Positively charged anilinium cations and View the MathML sourceNO3− anions are present in the structure. Powder FT IR and FT Raman spectra for normal and deuterated samples are discussed with respect to the crystal structure. DSC measurements do not indicate clearly on the occurrence of phase transition in the temperature region 113–293 K.
