Infrared and infrared emission spectroscopy of nesquehonite Mg(OH)(HCO3)·2H2O-implications for the formula of nesquehonite

IES defines the changes in the molecular structure of nesquehonite with temperature. The results of IR and IES supports the concept that the formula of nesquehonite is better defined as Mg(OH)(HCO3)·2H2O.
