This kind of hydrated tridecameric polyaluminium chloride with such form is very important to further understand the existing forms and transformation rules of aluminium ion in hydrolysis system of its salts, speculate the process and mechanism of various hydrolysis and polymerization forms from Al（H2O）6^3＋ to Al（OH）3, and establish the relationship between structure and properties.展开更多
