Abstract

In addition to the well-known \alpha and \beta modifications, nickel hydroxide is shown to exist in a number of poorly crystalline forms- clearly distinguishable by their signature X-ray powder diffraction patterns. DIFFaX simulations combined with compositional analysis and IR spectral data indicate that these are interstratified phases consisting of \alpha- and \beta-type structural motifs intermixed in varying proportions.
