Librational and torsional modes in hydroxylammonium, NH3OH+, salts studied by inelastic neutron scattering and infrared spectroscopy
Abstract
Inelastic neutron scattering spectra of the hydroxylammonium halides and sulphate together with Raman and infrared data on these systems are reported. The two librational/torsional modes of the NH3OH+ ion about the N—O axis have been identified and, with a plausible assumption for the internal barrier, the external barriers to rotation calculated.
