The Crystal Structure of Nickel Chloride Hexahydrate, NiCl2\cdot6H2O
Abstract
The crystal structure of NiCl2\cdot6H2O has been determined by the X-ray single crystal method. The unit cell is monoclinic with a{=}10.23 Å, b{=}7.05 Å, c{=}6.57 Å and β{=}122°10'. The space group is C2h3--C2/m and the unit cell contains two formula units. The atomic arrangement is quite the same as that of CoCl2\cdot6H2O and thus the structure model adopted for this salt has again been confirmed to be correct, as compared with the model proposed by Stroganov et al..
