Nt. Denisov et Af. Shestakov, INITIAL-STAGES OF THE FORMATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF METAL-HYDROXIDES, Russian chemical bulletin, 45(12), 1996, pp. 2703-2708
Based on the data for the initial stage of aging of metal hydroxides t
hat exhibit nitrogen fixation properties and the exact solution of the
model kinetic problem for the association of aqua and hydroxo complex
es, the regularities of the formation of the structure of primary amor
phous particles of metal hydroxides have been revealed. The primary pa
rticles consist of chain hydroxo polymers that contain ca. 10 units an
d are chemically bound to each other by mu(3)-OH bridging groups in si
tes at chaotically arranged intersections.
