Abstract

Large single crystals of rubidium nickel hexahydrate Rb2Ni(SO4)2 · 6H2O (RNSH) of optical quality were grown for the first time. The atomic structure of RNSH crystals was refined. A comparative analysis of the crystal structures of (M 1+)2Ni(SO4)2 · 6H2O, where M 1+ is K, Rb, or Cs, was performed. The solubility curve of RNSH in water was measured. The optical and thermogravimetric properties of RNSH were investigated. The internal defect structure of RNSH crystals was studied by X-ray topography.
