Notes:
Tricobalt (II)-dihydroxidesulfate-dihydrate, Co3(OH)2(SO4)2 · 2H2O, is orthorhombic: a = 7.21, b = 9.77, c = 12.86 Å, V = 905.9 Å3, space group D112h-Pbcm with four formula units per cell. The atomic positions have been determined by threedimensional Patterson and Fourier synthesis and full-matrix least-squares refinement of single crystal X-ray diffraction data.The structure shows infinite chains [001] of Co—O octahedra sharing one edge with each other. These chains are linked together by alternating SO4 tetrahedra and additional Co—O octahedra, thus giving rise to a three-dimensional network of polyhedra. There is no similarity to the well known layer structures of most hydroxide salts of divalent metals. The SO4 tetrahedra are regular while the Co—O octahedra show considerable distortion. The water molecule is coordinated to one Co atom and bonded to sulfate oxygen by two weak hydrogen bridges.
