Abstract

The short-range structural parameters for NaNO₂ and KNO ₂ pure melts were determined by the time-of-flight neu-tron diffraction. The precise analyses of structural parameters obtained such as coordination number, interatomic distance, and temperature factor allowed us to conclude that (1) there exist stable NO₂- anions in the melts, (2) NO₂^- anions behave like NO₃^- anions due to the existence of lone pairs of electrons, (3) the short-range structure of KNO₂ pure melt is similar to that of NaNO₂ pure melt but the cation site relative to anion is a little different from each other in terms of the cation size effect.
