Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Na2Zn(OH)4

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Na₂Zn(OH)₄ Crystallization from saturated sodium hydroxozincate solutions yields colourless platelets of crystals of Na₂Zn(OH)₄. The X‐ray structure determination on these crystals was successful including all hydrogen positions. P2₁/n, Z = 4, a = 7.959(3) Å, b = 6.534(1) Å, c = 8.501(3) Å, β = 93.97(3)°, N(F²_o ° 2σ F²_o) = 1668, N(Var.) = 81, R₁/wR₂ = 0.043/0.107. Na₂Zn(OH)₄ crystallizes in a layered structure. Alternate layers contain Na⁺ in octahedral and Zn²⁺ in tetrahedral coordination by OH^–.
