Tutton salt (NH₄)₂Zn(SO₄)₂(H₂O)₆: thermostructural, spectroscopic, Hirshfeld surface, and DFT investigations.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Ammonium Tutton salts have been widely studied in recent years due to their thermostructural properties, which make them promising compounds for application in thermochemical energy storage devices. In this work, a detailed experimental study of the Tutton salt with the formula (NH₄)₂Zn(SO₄)₂(H₂O)₆ is carried out. Its structural, vibrational, and thermal properties are analyzed and discussed. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies confirm that the compound crystallizes in a structure of a Tutton salt, with monoclinic symmetry and P2₁/a space group. The Hirshfeld surface analysis results indicate that the main contacts stabilizing the material crystal lattice are H···O/O···H, H···H, and O···O. In a
