title: Polysulfates [SnO3n+1]2-: With the [S6O19]2-Anion, has the End been Reached?
abstract: The S6O192-ion was obtained both as rubidium and ammonium salt from the reaction of the respective sulfate with SO3. It is the largest polysulfate ion known to date and exhibits a chain of six vertex-connected [SO4] tetrahedra. The unique compound was comprehensively characterized and the bonding within the anion was elucidated by theoretical investigations.
