Abstract
The structure of a new polymorph of MgSO4·6H2O, a potentially important mineral on the surface of Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons, was reported by Maynard-Casely et al. [Maynard-Casely, H. E.; Brand, H. E.; Wilson, S. A.; Wallwork, K. S. Mineral Diversity on Europa: Exploration of Phases Formed in the MgSO4–H2SO4–H2O Ternary. ACS Earth Space Chem. 2021, 5 (7), 1716−1725. DOI: 10.1021/acsearthspacechem.1c00073]. The reported structure is unambiguously incorrect because the stoichiometry is wrong; the formula unit contains only half of the SO42– oxyanions required. We highlight where this error could have been detected at various stages of the analysis, writeup, and submission process and make recommendations to avoid repetition of the mistake.
