Growth and structural characterization of Tutton salt mixed of Co and Ni

The family of crystals known as Tutton's salts plays a significant role in physics and chemistry; because they are used phase transition studies to define models applied materials. importance material engineering is recent, applications adiabatic degaussing refrigerators solid-state anodes. Studies the (NH4)2Ni(SO4)2∙6H2O (NH4)2Co(SO4)2·6H2O widely found literature but do not occur for mixture both. In this research, we studied mixed general chemical formula (NH4)2NixCo(1-x)(SO4)2·6H2O with x ranging from 0 1, utilizing = 0.7. objective study modifications caused owing ion's weighted composition formation solid solution compare it pure salts. For this, growth these discussed based on ICP-OES results optical microscopy concerning crystal theory. discussion also relates Raman spectra molecular changes according structured group theory, qualitatively characterizing its crystalline structure. Finally, Single-crystal X-ray solves confirms structure salt, quantitatively their
