Structure and thermoelastic properties of a new hydrate of magnesium sulfate, MgSO4·9H2O
Abstract: We have discovered a new hydrate of MgSO4 with 9 water molecules per formula unit. This compound appears to form metastably at low pressure, but may become stable at high pressure; in previous studies of MgSO4.11H2O we have produced a compound we believe to have a hydration state between 7 and 11. Since this pressure-stabilized phase may therefore be important in icy planetary interiors, it is important to determine its structure and thermoelastic properties. In this experiment we propose to measure the thermal expansivity at room pressure and the incompressibility up to approximately 1 GPa.
