Application

Ammonium nitrate can be used as a catalyst:
  • For the direct conversion of aryls, heteroaryls, and aliphatic esters to amides.
  • To synthesize 2-aminothiazoles via aerobic oxidative cyclization of ketones with thioureas.
It can also be used to quench Mizoroki-Heckreaction.

The nanostructure of the ethanolammonium nitrate (EtAN)-air surface has been investigated using X-ray reflectometry (XRR), vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS) and neutral impact collision ion scattering spectroscopy (NICISS). The XRR data decays more rapidly than expected for a perfectly sharp

Nanoscale manganese oxides within Faujasite zeolite have been synthesized with a simple method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, N(2) adsorption-desorption isotherms, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic absorption spectroscopy. These oxides showed efficient water oxidizing activity in
