Abstract

Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the nitrate hydrotalcite mbobomkulite NiAl2(OH)16(NO3).4H2O. Mbobomkulite along with hydrombobomkulite and sveite are known as ‘cave’ minerals as these hydrotalcites are only found in caves. Two types of nitrate anion are observed using Raman spectroscopy namely free or non-hydrogen bonded nitrate and nitrate hydrogen bonded to the interlayer water and to the ‘brucite-like’ hydroxyl surface. Two bands are observed in the Raman spectrum of Ni-Mbobomkulite at 3576 and 3647 cm-1 with an intensity ratio of 3.36/7.37 and are attributed to the Ni3OH and Al3OH stretching vibrations. The observation of multiple water stretching vibrations implies that there are different types of water present in the hydrotalcite structure. Such types of water would result from different hydrogen bond structures.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
