Abstract
The solubility diagram of the NiSeO3-SeO2-H2O system at 25 °C was studied, and on its basis, Ni(HSeO3)2.2 H2O was prepared. This selenite and NiSeO3.2 H2O were investigated by infrared absorption spectroscopy and by electronic reflectance spectroscopy and their magnetic properties were determined. Based on the infrared spectra, the force constants of the selenium-oxygen bonds were determined and the hydrogen bonding was characterized. The electronic reflectance spectra and the magnetic parameters indicate an octahedral arrangement of the coordination sphere of the nickel cation and characterize the selenite anion as a ligand that in the spectrochemical series assumes a position between the fluoride anion and water and in the nephelauxetic series, between ethylenediamine and the chloride anion.
