Zinc hydroxide nitrate, Zns (OH) s (NO3) 2.2 HzO, is monoclinic with a= 19.480 (5), b= 6.238 (1), c= 5.517 (1) A, fl= 93-28 o (2), space group C2/m, two formula units per cell. The structure has been deter-mined from Patterson and Fourier syntheses. The refinement was done by the method of least squares. The final R value for 491 observed Weissenberg reflexions was 6" 4%. The structure is characterized by zinc atoms occuring in both octahedral and tetrahedral coordination in the ratio 3: 2. The octahedral zinc atoms, surrounded by six OH groups, belong to a CdI~-type sheet with ¼ of the metal atoms missing. The tetrahedrally coordinated zinc atoms are located above and below the empty octahedra. The tetrahedra are formed by three OH groups and one water molecule. The nitrate group is not directly involved in the coordination of the metal atoms. The average tetrahedral Zn-O distance of 1.95 A is significantly shorter than the mean octahedral Zn-O distance of 2.13 A.Zinc hydroxide nitrate is obtained as a microcrystalline powder by reaction of ZnO or Zn (OH) z with aqueous Zn (NO3) 2 solutions (Feitknecht, 1933). Single crystals can be grown by precipitation from homogeneous so-lution of zinc nitrate with urea at 60 C (both concen-trations eg 1 molar).
