FTIR spectroscopy has been applied to NH4+-exchanged dioctahedral clay minerals to determine the molecular environment of NH4+ and to quantify N concentration. FTIR under vapour-pressure control, coupled with heating and freezing treatments has shown that NH4+ ion symmetry varies with the nature of clay minerals. NH4+ has a perfect tetrahedral symmetry in hydrated or dehydrated smectites and belongs to the T-d symmetry group. The NH4+-bending vibration is centred at 1450 and 1425 cm(-1). The Si4+-Al3+ substitution in dioctahedral clay minerals induces the loss of symmetry elements of the NH4+ tetrahedron which acquires a C-2v symmetry. As a consequence, the T-d-C-2v transition can be used to characterize the smectite-illite transition. Quantification of NH4+ content per half unit cell is provided by n(NH4) = k[NH4]/[OH] where [NH4]/[OH] is the band area ratio of the NH4+-bending vibration to the OH-stretching vibration. k = 1.1 for hydrated smectite, 0.9 for dehydrated smectite and 0.8 for illite or tobelite. The bending vibration of NH4+ is chosen for the calculation because it is not affected by superimposed contributions.
