Abstract

The coordination structure of ZnII ions in HCONH2-HCOONH4-ZnO solution, where the molar ratio of HCOONH4 and ZnO is ca. 2.0, has been investigated using EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) and RDF (radial distribution function) methods. From both results we found that ZnII ions from mononuclear Zn(HCOO)2(HCONH2)2 tetrahedra with a Zn-O bond length of 1.99 Å in HCONH2-HCOONH4 solution.
