ResumoThe Raman Spectra of concentrated aqueous lithium nitrate solutions contain lines at 737, 1389, and 1458–1464 cm−1, characteristic of a nitrate ion in the first coordination sphere of lithium and lines at 718, 1352, and 1429 cm−1 typical of more dilute aqueous solutions. These spectra are compared with those of the hydrates LiNO3·3H2O and LiNO3·2.4H2O, the anhydrous crystal, and the molten salt. Regions with the water-governing structure and with the latticelike structure simultaneously exist over a range of concentrations. This interpretation is consistent with a quasilattice model. A place-exchange equilibrium constant is estimated for a nitrate ion entering the first coordination sphere of a lithium ion.
