Chromium(II) chemistry. Part IV. Double sulphates

Abstract
The double salts M2SO4,CrSO4,6H2O (M = NH4, Rb, or Cs) have been found to be high-spin compounds which obey the Curie law. Their spectroscopic and thermal properties are compatible with a tetragonally-distorted, octahedral arrangement of water molecules about the chromium(II) ion. The compounds M2SO3,M2SO4,2H2O M = Na or K) have similar properties, but are more distorted because sulphato-groups are present. The corresponding caesium dihydrate is almost diamagnetic, and this and its spectroscopic properties are consistent with a sulphato-bridged binuclear structure like that of chromium(II) acetate monohydrate.
