A paper first-authored by Mr. Zhao who obtained MSc degree last September has been published on Journal of Solid State Chemistry.
We discovered that compression of CoSO4·6H2O and CoSO4·7H2O resulted in a novel high-pressure phase, CoSO4·5H2O, and determined its crystal structure through in-situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
