A new form of cobalt succinate has been discovered using high-throughput methods and its structure was solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Co7(C4H4O4)4(OH)6(H2O)3⋅7H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 / c with cell parameters: a = 7.888 ( 2 ) A , b = 19.082 ( 6 ) A , c = 23.630 ( 7 ) A , β = 91.700 ( 5 ) ° , V = 3555 ( 2 ) A 3 , R 1 = 0.0469 . This complex structure, containing 55 crystallographically distinct non-hydrogen atoms, is compared to the previously reported nickel phase, characterized using ab initio structure solution from synchrotron powder diffraction data. |
