Strontium nitrate significantly better than using glycolic acid alone. As a divalent ion with an ionic radius similar to that of Ca (1.13 vs. 0.99 A, respectively), Sr ions resembles calcium's ability to traverse calcium-selective ion channels and trigger neurotransmitter release from nerve endings. It is thus used in electrophysiology experiments. In his short story "A Germ Destroyer", Rudyard Kipling refers to strontium nitrate as the main ingredient of the titular fumigant. Strontium nitrate Strontium nitrate is an inorganic compound made of the elements strontium and nitrogen with the formula Sr(NO). This colorless solid is used as a red colorant and oxidizer
Vanadyl nitrate if VONO is heated at 350 °C, vanadium pentoxide solid is left behind. Infrared absorption at 9.8 to 10 μm indicates vanadium to oxygen bonds are present, and absorption at 7.25 μm indicates nitrate. Very weak absorption at 12.19 μm shows a very small quantity of ionic nitrate exists, so this compound is mostly covalent. Vanadyl nitrate Vanadyl nitrate, also called vanadium oxytrinitrate or vanadium oxynitrate is a compound of vanadium in the +5 oxidation state with nitrate groups and oxygen. The formula is VO(NO). It is made from dinitrogen pentoxide and vanadium pentoxide. It is a nitrating agent, adding
