Conclusion

The compound Pr(SO4)(OH) forms a three-dimensional framework stabilized by hydrogen bonding.

Supporting Evidence

  • The structure consists of PrIII ions coordinated by nine O atoms from sulfate and hydroxide groups.
  • The bridging mode of O atoms results in a stable three-dimensional framework.
  • The compound was obtained with a yield of 32% based on the starting material.

Takeaway

Scientists studied a new material made of praseodymium, sulfate, and hydroxide, which has a special structure that helps it stay together.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized using X-ray crystallography.
