During investigations of the formation of hydrated magnesium carbonates, a sample of the previously unknown magnesium carbonate hexahydrate (MgCO<sub>3</sub>·6H<sub>2</sub>O) was synthesized in an aqueous solution at 273.15 K. The crystal structure consists of edge-linked isolated pairs of Mg(CO<sub>3</sub>)(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>4</sub> octahedra and noncoordinating water molecules, and exhibits similarities to NiCO<sub>3</sub>·5.5H<sub>2</sub>O (hellyerite). The recorded X-ray diffraction patter ...[more]
