Crystal structures of ZnCl2·2.5H2O, ZnCl2·3H2O and ZnCl2·4.5H2O
Abstract
The crystal structures of ZnCl2·xH2O (x = 2.5, 3 and 4.5) consist of Zn2+ ions both in an octahedral and tetrahedral environment. O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between water molecules and tetrahedral ZnCl4 units lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network in each of the structures.
