Primary Institution: University of the Witwatersrand

Conclusion

The crystal structure of the pure salt is presented, showing no disorder of the anions compared to previous determinations.

Supporting Evidence

  • The study presents a pure crystal structure without impurities.
  • The ions in the crystal form chains linked by hydrogen bonds.

Takeaway

This study looks at the structure of a specific salt, showing how its components fit together without any mix-ups from impurities.

Methodology

Crystals were grown by slow evaporation of a methanol solution containing hexamethylenetetramine and fumaric acid.
