Abstract:
The title compound, sodium ammonium sulfate dihydrate (SASD), NaNH4SO4·2H2O, a synthetic analogue of the mineral lecontite, is a well known ferroelectric. The crystal structure of the paraelectric phase has been re-refined at 170 K on the basis of single-crystal X-ray data, improving the previous study [Arzt & Glazer (1994 ▸). Acta Cryst. B50, 425-431] in terms of accuracy regarding hydrogen-atom positions and thus details of the hydrogen bonding. O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the principal building units [Na(OH2)4O2 octa-hedra, SO4 tetra-hedra and ammonium cations] constitute a three-dimensional network structure.
