In this study, the influence of initial reagents on the phase composition and morphology of magnesium ferrite obtained by combustion of glycine-nitrate gel was investigated. The local environment of iron ions in the gel-precursor was studied in detail using FT-IR, XANES- and EXAFS-spectroscopy. It has been established that in the gel-precursor obtained by dissolving metals (Mg, Fe) in dilute nitric acid, binuclear Fe(III) complexes are formed, while in a similar gel-precursor obtained from crystalline hydrates of nitrates of the corresponding metals, trinuclear Fe(III) complexes predominate. Combustion of a gel consisting of binuclear Fe(III) complexes leads to the formation of nanocrystalline magnesium ferrite powder, characterized by a unimodal particle size distribution.

В данной работе исследовано влияние исходных реагентов на фазовый состав и морфологию феррита магния, полученного сжиганием глицин-нитратного геля. Локальное окружение ионов железа в геле-прекурсоре детально изучено методами ИК-Фурье, XANES- и EXAFS-спектроскопии. Установлено, что в геле-прекурсоре, полученном растворением металлов (Mg, Fe) в разбавленной азотной кислоте, образуются биядерные комплексы Fe(III), тогда как в аналогичном геле-прекурсоре, полученном из кристаллогидратов нитратов соответствующих металлов преобладают трехъядерные комплексы Fe(III). Горение геля, состоящего из биядерных комплексов Fe(III), приводит к образованию нанокристаллического порошка феррита магния, характеризующегося унимодальным распределением частиц по размерам.
