Abstract
SrCd2Cl6⋅8H2O crystallizes in the space group \(P\bar 1\) and has the unit cell dimensions a = 9.688(2) Å, b = 11.212(2) Å, c = 7.732(3) Å, α = 99.85(21)°, β = 89.95(22)°, γ = 75.81(13)°, and Z = 2. After refinement through full-matrix least-squares methods, the reliability factor R in the final cycle is 4.65%. A very persistent occurrence of twinning by pseudosymmetry was observed. The twin element is a twofold axis [001]. The title compound exhibits five endothermic peaks, which have been detected by differential scanning calorimetry and interpreted from thermogravimetry.
