Tetrapyridinium tetrasulfatozirconate(IV) monohydrate

Y.-L. Fu, Z.-W. Xu, J.-L. Ren and S. W. Ng

Abstract: The zirconium(IV) ion in the title compound, (C₅H₆N)₄[Zr(SO₄)₄]·H₂O, exists in a distorted dodecahedral geometry with four bidentate sulfate groups. The tetraanion, two of the pyridinium cations and water molecule all lie on special positions with m site symmetry. A network of N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds helps to stabilize the structure.
