Temperature‐dependent Raman study of NaNO 2 confined within porous glass with a pore size of 46 nm has been performed. It is demonstrated that the bandwidths and frequencies of the Raman bands as a function of temperature show similar behaviour, but not identical, as those observed for bulk NaNO 2 . This result indicates that the first‐order phase transition mechanism is only slightly modified by embedding NaNO 2 into the porous glass. It seems that formation of “premelted state” is not significant in the studied material, at least up to 40‐50 K above T c . At higher temperatures, however, a significant increase of bandwidth of the 1326 cm –1 band is observed, which could indicate appearance of “premelted” state. The dielectric measurements are consistent with this view since they show large increase of dielectric permittivity above 480 K, well below the NaNO 2 melting temperature (554 K).
