โฆ Synopsis
The title compound, Y 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ร8H 2 O, consists of inยฎnite layers parallel to (101), with [Y(H 2 O) 4 (SO 4 ) 3/2 ] as the unique repeat unit. The layers are linked only by hydrogen bonds of medium strength. The trivalent yttrium cation is coordinated by eight O atoms from four sulfate groups and four water molecules, in the form of a distorted square antiprism [YO 8 ]. The title compound is isostructural with the well known members of the rare-earth sulfate octahydrate structure type.
