Abstract
An effective approach to sulfate separation from aqueous solutions is based on the crystallization of extended [SO4(H2O)52-]n sulfate-water clusters with a bis(guanidinium) ligand. The ligand was generated in situ by hydrazone condensation in water, thereby bypassing the need for elaborate syntheses, tedious purifications, and organic solvents. Crystallization of sulfate-water clusters represents an alternative approach to the now established sulfate separation strategies that involve encapsulation of the "naked" anion. You can leave your water on: Extended [SO4(H2O)52-]n clusters crystallize from aqueous solutions with a bis(guanidinium) ligand generated in situ by hydrazone condensation. The crystallization of these clusters is a viable alternative to the established sulfate separation approach, which involves encapsulation of the "naked" anion.
