Morphological Development And Coordination Change In The Course Of Cd2+ Hydrolysis

Morphological development from nanowire to hexagonal platelet was observed for hydrolysis products of Cd(NO3)(2) aqueous solution. Cd-113 cross-polarization magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction revealed that the morphological development corresponds to the change of coordination environment around Cd2+ from double salts containing nitrate ions to beta-Cd(OH)(2).
