ANHYDROUS CEROUS NITRATE-AMMONIUM NITRATE COMPLEX AND PRODUCTION THEREOF FROM CERIC AMMONIUM NITRATE

摘要

A procedure for preparing anhydrous cerous nitrate ammonium nitrate complex comprising treating dried anhydrous ceric hexanitro ammonium complex (ceric ammonium nitrate) with a reducing agent such as ammonia whereby Ce+4 is reduced to Ce+3 under anhydrous conditions. The resulting Ce+3 species, a complex of Ce+3 nitrate and ammonia nitrate, can be used as a source of anhydrous Ce+3 ions.
