Gallium(III) sulfate refers to the chemical compound, a salt, with the formula Ga2(SO4)3, or its hydrates Ga2(SO4)3·xH2O. Gallium metal dissolves in sulfuric acid to form solutions containing [Ga(OH2)6]3+ and SO42− ions. The octadecahydrate Ga2(SO4)3·18H2O crystallises from these solutions at room temperature. This hydrate loses water in stages when heated, forming the anhydrate Ga2(SO4)3 above 150 °C[3] and completely above 310 °C.[1] Anhydrous Ga2(SO4)3 is isostructural with iron(III) sulfate, crystallizing in the rhombohedral space group R3.[4]

Preparation

Gallium(III) sulfate is prepared from the reaction of hydroxygallium diacetate and sulfuric acid. The two reactants were mixed at 90 °C and left for 2 days which produced the octadecahydrate. Then, it was dried in a vacuum for 2 hours which created the extremely hygroscopic anhydrous form. The overall reaction is below:

2 Ga(CH3COO)2OH + 3 H2SO4 → Ga2(SO4)3 + 4 CH3COOH + 2 H2O

After the production, it was confirmed to be the simple salt, Ga2(SO4)3, by x-ray diffraction.[1]

Properties

When heated over 680 °C, gallium sulfate gives off sulfur trioxide, yielding gallium(III) oxide.[1] A gallium sulfate solution in water mixed with zinc sulfate can precipitate ZnGa2O4.[5]

Derivatives

Basic gallium sulfate is known with the formula (H3O)Ga3(SO4)2(OH)6.[6]

Double gallium sulfates are known with composition NaGa3(SO4)2(OH)6, KGa3(SO4)2(OH)6, RbGa3(SO4)2(OH)6, NH4Ga3(SO4)2(OH)6. These compounds are isostructural with jarosite and alunite. Jarosite and alunite can contain a small amount of gallium substituted for iron or aluminium.[6] Organic base double gallium sulfates can contain different core structures, these can be chains of [Ga(SO4)3]3-, [Ga(OH)(SO4)2]2- or [Ga(H2O)2(SO4)2]− or sheets of [Ga(H2O)2(SO4)2]− units.[7]
