Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP), commonly called monoammonium phosphate (MAP) is a chemical compound with formula . It is a white crystalline solid consisting of ammonium cations and dihydrogen phosphate anions in equal proportions. ADP is a major ingredient of agricultural fertilizers and some fire extinguishers. It also has significant uses in optics and electronics. Monoammonium phosphate is soluble in water and crystallizes from it as the anhydrous salt in the tetragonal system, as elongated prisms or needles. It is practically insoluble in ethanol. Solid monoammonium phosphate can be considered stable in practice for temperatures up to 200
Dihydrogen bond a normal N−H vibration whereas the lower energy band is assigned to the same bond, which is interacting with the B−H. Upon dilution of the solution, the 3300 cm band increased in intensity and the 3210 cm band decreased, indicative of intermolecular association. Interest in dihydrogen bonding was reignited upon the crystallographic characterization of the molecule HNBH. In this molecule, like the one studied by Brown and Hazeltine, the hydrogen atoms on nitrogen have a partial positive charge, denoted H, and the hydrogen atoms on boron have a partial negative charge, often denoted H. In other words, the amine is
