All the stuff I put online, in one place finally
Formula: Li4[Fe(C2O4)3]Cl·9H2O
Double salt of lithium with two different anions: ferrioxalate [Fe(C2O4)3]3- and chlorice Cl-. Also known as tetralithium iron(III) trioxalate chloride nonahydrate.
Lithium ferrioxalate alone forms tabular crystals, but when lithium chloride is added, they crystallize together, orming new structure.
Formula: KCl
Potassium chloride is a potassium analog of a table salt. It has the same cubic crystalline structure and shape of crystals. Large crystals are easy to grow, but often get cloudy and badly formed.
Formula: (NH4)2[CuCl4]
Blue crystals, obtained when ammonium chloride NH4Cl is crystallized together with copper(II) chloride CuCl2.
Formula: (NH4)2[Cu(SO3NH2)2Cl2]
An unusual coordination complex of copper, producing dark blue crystals.
Similar compounds: + Potassium bis(sulfamato) chlorocuprate, K2[Cu(SO3NH2)2Cl2]. + Potassium bis(sulfamato) bromocuprate, K2[Cu(SO3NH2)2Br2].
Formula: K2[Cu(SO3NH2)2Cl2]
An unusual coordination complex of copper, producing lustrous dark violet crystals.
It has bromine analog: potassium bis(sulfamato) bromocuprate. Also, potassium can be replaced with ammonium: ammonium bis(sulfamato) chlorocuprate
Table salt. Formula: NaCl
Table salt is probably the most available component for growing crystals. It is also one of the hardest components to grow. I made countless number of attempts, and only one of them produced fine results, presented here. You are lucky if you can get clear, well-formed 5mm, salt crystal. If you get 10mm, it is success. And if you manage to get a bigger one, then please tell me how you did it.
