Does the compound hexaaqua-zinc(ii)bis(hydrogensulfate)dihydrate, [Zn(H2O)6](HSO4·H2O)2, really exist?
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A careful examination of the crystal structure of the hydrogensulfate compound [Zn(H2O)6](HSO4·H2O)2 reported in this journal shows that the sample used for X-ray diffraction was almost certainly the Tutton salt [Zn(H2O)6](SO4·NH4)2, isoelectronic with the former elusive compound (F 000 = 416, P21/c space group). Indeed, any chemistry involving ammonium and sulfate moieties in an aqueous medium containing a transition metal cation should afford the corresponding Tutton salt as a by-product. We redetermined the structure of [Zn(H2O)6](SO4·NH4)2, on the basis of high-resolution X-ray dat
