Abstract

Single crystals of the congruently melting equimolar mixture of magnesium nitrate hexahydrate and nickel nitrate hexahydrate have been grown. The compound crystallizes in a structure foreign to both components, namely in the monoclinic cobalt nitrate hexahydrate structure. The cations are located at random on the cation sub-lattice of the latter crystalline structure.
