Materials Data on Na2MgH32(SO12)2 by Materials Project
(Na(H2O)4)2Mg(H2O)6(H2O)2(SO4)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of one magnesium;hexahydrate molecule; two sulfuric acid molecules; two water molecules; and one Na(H2O)4 ribbon oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In the Na(H2O)4 ribbon, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing NaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.55 Å. There are eight inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the eighth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Na1+ and two H1+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Na1+ and two H1+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Na1+ and two H1+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Na1+ and two H1+ atoms.
