Abstract
The new compound Co9(OH)14[SO4]2 was synthesized using a hydrothermal method from LiF, Na2SO3, and Co(CH3COO) 24H2O in a molar ratio of 1:1:1 in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. Its crystal structure was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. Co9(OH)14[SO4]2 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1 with a =7.693(2) Å, b =8.318(2) Å, c =8.351(2) Å, α =82.375(5)°, Beta; =77.832(4)°, γ = 68.395(4)°, V = 484.8(2) Å3, and Z = 2. Its structure is composed of cobalt-containing sheets interconnected by SO4 tetrahedra. Bent and symmetrically trifurcated hydrogen bonds have been observed. Furthermore, structural similarities with hydrozincite and brucite minerals have been noticed.
