Na(H₃O)(HSO₄)₂ ( A ) crystallizes in the space group P2₁/c with the unit cell parameters a = 6.974(2), b = 13.086(2), c = 8.080(3) Å, α = 105.90(4)°, V = 709.1 Å3, Z = 4. Na₂(HSO₄)₂(H₂SO₄) ( B ) is orthorhombic (space group Pna2₁) with the unit cell parameters a = 9.970(2), b = 6.951(1), c = 13.949(3) Å, V = 966.7 ų and Z = 4.

All three compounds contain SO₄ tetrahedra as HSO₄^? anions and additionally in B and C in form of H₂SO₄ molecules. The ratio H:SO₄ determines the connectivity degree in the hydrogen bond system. In A , there are zigzag chains and dimers additionally connected via oxonium ions. Complex chains consisting of cyclic trimers (two HSO₄^? and one H₂SO₄) are present in B . In structure C , several parallel chains are connected to columns due to the greater content of H₂SO₄. Sodium cations show a distorted octahedral coordination by oxygen in all three structures, the NaO₆ octahedra being “isolated” (connected via SO₄ tetrahedra only) in A . Pairs of octahedra with common edge form Na₂O₁₀ dimeric units in C . Such double octahedra are connected via common corners forming zigzag chains in B .

Upon heating over 230 °C, (Hg₂)₂(H₂PO₄)(PO₄) condenses to (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇, which in turn disproportionates at higher temperatures into Hg₂P₂O₇ and elemental mercury.

Hydrogen Sulfates with Disordered Hydrogen Atoms – Synthesis and Structure of Li[H(HSO₄)₂](H₂SO₄)₂ and Refinement of the Structure of α-NaHSO₄ The structure of Li[H(HSO₄)₂](H₂SO₄)₂ has been determined for the first time whereas the structure of α-NaHSO₄ has been refined, so that direct determination of the hydrogen positions was possible. Both compounds crystallize triclinic in the space group P1 with the lattice constants a = 6.708(2), b = 6.995(1), c = 7.114(1) Å, α = 75.53(1), β = 84.09(2) and γ = 87.57(2)° (Z = 4) for α-NaHSO₄ and a = 4.915(1), b = 7.313(1), c = 8.346(2) Å, α = 82.42(3), β = 86.10(3) and γ = 80.93(3)° (Z = 1) for Li[H(HSO₄)₂](H₂SO₄)₂.

The system of hydrogen bonds can be described by chains in [0–11] direction. The disordering of the H atoms reduces the differences between the S? O and S? OH distances (1.45 and 1.50 Å) while in the ordered HSO₄ unit “regular” bond lengths are observed (1.45 und 1,57 Å). In the structure of Li[H(HSO₄)₂](H₂SO₄)₂ there are two crystallographically different SO₄-tetrahedra. The first one belongs to the [H(HSO₄)₂]^? unit while the second one represents H₂SO₄ molecules. The H atom which is located nearby the symmetry centre and connects two HSO₄ units by a short O…?O distance of 2.44 Å. Li is located on a symmetry centre and is slightly distorted octahedrally coordinated by oxygen atoms of six different SO₄ tetrahedra. The system of hydrogen bonds can be regarded as consisting of double layers parallel to the xy-plane.

Synthese und Struktur von Hydrogensulfaten des Typs M(HSO4)(H2SO4) (M = Rb,Cs und NH4)

Synthesis and Structure of Hydrogen Sulfates of the Type M(HSO₄)(H₂SO₄) (M = Rb, Cs and NH₄) From the binary systems M₂SO₄/H₂SO₄ (M = Rb, Cs, NH₄), three new hydrogen sulfates of the type M(HSO₄)(H₂SO₄) could be synthesized and structural characterized. The rubidium and caesium compounds are isotypic whereas NH₄(HSO₄)(H₂SO₄) is topologically very similar to both. All three compounds crystallize with nearly identical cell parameters [Rb: a = 7.382(1), b = 12.440(2), c = 7.861(2), β = 93.03(3); Cs: a = 7.604(1), b = 12.689(2), c = 8.092(2), β = 92.44(3); NH₄: a = 7.521(3), b = 12.541(5), c = 7.749(3), β = 92.74(3)], in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, There exist two kinds of SO₄-tetrahedra: HSO₄^? anions (S1) and H₂SO₄-molecules (S2). The HSO₄^? anions form hydrogen bridged zigzag chains. In the case of the Rb and Cs compounds, the H₂SO₄ molecules connect these chains forming double layers. The metal atoms are coordinated by 9 O-atoms with M? O-distances of 2.97 – 3.39 Å (Rb) and 3.13 – 3.51 Å (Cs). In the ammonium compound additional hydrogen bonds are formed originating from the NH₄⁺ cation. This finally leads to the formation of S2? NH₄⁺ chains (parallel to the S1 chains) as well as to a three-dimensional connection of both kinds of chains.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Y(HSO₄)₃-I and Y(HSO₄)₃ · H₂O Lath shaped crystals of Y(HSO₄)-I are obtained by treatment of Y₂O₃ with conc. sulfuric acid at 200 °C. Y(HSO₄)₃-I crystallizes orthorhombic (Pbca, Z = 8, a = 1201.5(1), b = 953.76(8), c = 1650.4(1) pm, R_all = 0.0388). In the crystal structure Y³⁺ is coordinated by eight monodentate HSO₄^– groups. Colorless, plate like single crystals of Y(HSO₄)₃ · H₂O grew from a solution of Y₂O₃ in 85% sulfuric acid upon cooling. In the crystal structure of the triclinic compound (P1, Z = 2, a = 679.8(1), b = 802.8(2), c = 965.9(2) pm, α = 79.99(2)°, β = 77.32(2)°, γ = 77.50(2)°, R_all = 0.0264) Y³⁺ is surrounded by seven HSO₄^– groups and one molecule of water.     

Polymorphism of [Zn(2,2′‐bipy)(H2PO4)2]2

Two polymorphs of a zero‐dimensional (molecular) zinc phosphate with the formula [Zn(2,2′‐bipy)(H₂PO₄)₂]₂ have been synthesized by a mild hydrothermal route and their crystal structures were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction (triclinic, space group (No. 2), Z = 2, α‐form: a = 8.664(1), b = 8.849(2), c = 10.113(2) Å, α = 97.37(2)°, β = 100.54(2)°, γ = 100.98(2)°, V = 737.5(3) ų; β‐form: a = 7.5446(15), b = 10.450(2), c = 10.750(2) Å, α = 67.32(3)°, β = 81.67(3)°, γ = 69.29(3)°, V = 731.4(3) ų). Both structures consist of distorted trigonal‐bipyramidal ZnO₃N₂ units condensed with PO₂(OH)₂ tetrahedra through common vertices giving rise to dimers [Zn(2,2′‐bipy)(H₂PO₄)₂]₂. The structures are stabilized by extensive inter‐ and intramolecular hydrogen bond interactions. Both modifications display subtle differences in their packing originating from the hydrogen bond interactions as well as π…π interactions between the organic ligands.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Gd2[Pt2(SO4)4(HSO4)2](HSO4)2

Red single crystals of Gd₂[Pt₂(SO₄)₄(HSO₄)₂](HSO₄)₂ (triclinic, , Z = 1, a = 844.02(9), b = 908.50(9), c = 939.49(8) pm, α = 107.73(1)°, β = 112.10(1)°, γ = 103.53(1)°) were obtained by the reaction of [Gd(NO₃)(H₂O)₇][PtCl₆]·4H₂O with sulfuric acid at 320 °C in a sealed glass ampoule. In the crystal structure, Pt₂ dumbbells are coordinated by four chelating sulfate groups and two monodentate hydrogensulfate ions. Two further HSO₄^? ions are not bonded to the Pt₂ dumbbell. The Gd³⁺ ions are eightfold coordinated by oxygen atoms. The IR data of Gd₂[Pt₂(SO₄)₄(HSO₄)₂](HSO₄)₂ are typical for these type of compounds. The thermal decomposition of the compound leads to elemental platinum and Gd₂O₃.
