Abstract

Ferric sulfate trihydrate has been synthesized at 403 K under hydro-thermal conditions. The structure consists of quadruple chains of [Fe 2(SO4)3(H2O)3] parallel to [010]. Each quadruple chain is composed of equal proportions of FeO 4(H2O)2 octa-hedra and FeO5(H 2O) octa-hedra sharing corners with SO4 tetra-hedra. The chains are joined to each other by hydrogen bonds. This compound is a new hydration state of Fe2(SO4)nH 2O; minerals with n = 0, 5, 7.25-7.75, 9 and 11 are found in nature.
