Abstract in another language

A so far structurally unknown polymorph (form II) of dihydrogenhydrazinium (hydrazine) sulfate(IV) was isolated as macroscopic single crystals and its structure was determined and refined as twin from single crystal X-ray data collected at 173K [cell parameters: a = 5.5592(11) Å, b = 7.3571(15) Å, c = 10.270(2) Å, β = 96.75(3)°, V = 416.21(15) Å3, space group P21/c]. The structure shows some similarities to the structure of the known form I: Both form II and I share zick-zack shaped strands of [SO4]2--ions running along the a-axes. Within both forms the strands are separated by trans type (staggered) [N2H6]2+-ions. The spatial orientation is, however, different in both forms. Consequently, distinct H-bond networks are formed. The new form II was proven to be metastable and converts into form I within one day as monitored with powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD).
