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.
