The systhesis and crystal growth of Te(OH)6 · 4 H2O

Abstract The binary system Te(OH) 6 -H 2 O has been studied between -5°C and room temperature. At temperatures under 10°C it was possible to prepare crystals of the composition Te(OH) 6 · 4 H 2 O. A single crystal of dimensions 11 x 18 x 12 mm and volume 1.3 cm 3 was grown by slow evaporation at 4°C from a saturated solution.
