Unnamed (Zinc ammine chloride) (original) (raw)

A material that is NOT an approved mineral species

Crystal System:

Orthorhombic

The mineral-like anthropogenic phase Zn(NH3)2Cl2, with ammine (NH03) complexes from the burned dumps of the Chelyabinsk coal basin (South Urals, Russia)

Is identical to the synthetic Zn(NH3)2Cl2.

This compound was found among the alteration products of a zinc plate placed in the
near-surface part of burning coal-bearing material for nine days.

Not to be confused with ammineite.
