By comparing Weissenberg photographs, Harker sections and Patterson projections it is shown that the compound Rb3 [Cr (C~ 04) 3]. xH20 and the corresponding potassium compound are isotype. The corresponding ammonium compound has a different structure. It is shown that this difference in structure is not due to the different sizes of the cations, but that it is probably due to the ability of an ammonium ion to form tetrahedrally directed hydrogen bonds.Introduction In two recent communications (van Niekerk & Schoening, 1952a, b) the crystal structures of po-tassium and ammonium trioxalatochromate (III) have been described. In the latter publication the two different schemes, according to which the complex ions and the cations are arranged in the two struc-tures, were discussed. The question whether this difference in arrangement was due to (1) the difference in size of the cations, or (2) the ability of an ammonium ion to form hydrogen bonds, remained unanswered. To get further information as regards the first point it was decided to investigate the structures of the corresponding rubidium and cesium compounds. Gold-schmidt and Pauling give the following data for the effective ionic radii of these ions:
