Conclusion
The crystal structure of Sn(SO4)2·2H2O consists of layers of octahedra connected by sulfate tetrahedra, stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
Supporting Evidence
- The crystal structure was refined with distance restraints on the S—O bond length.
- The study utilized synchrotron X-ray data collected at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.
- The structure consists of layers of [SnO4(H2O)2] octahedra connected by sulfate tetrahedra.
Takeaway
This study looks at how tin sulfate crystals are built, showing that they have layers held together by bonds between water and sulfate.
Methodology
The crystal structure was determined using powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction data.
