Here, we report the synthesis and structure characterization of the hitherto unknown \u201cbinary\u201d representative of the LZH compound family, Zn5(OH)10\u00b72H2O, with Am\u2013 = OH\u2013, x = 5, y = 2, and n = 2. Zn5(OH)10\u00b72H2O was afforded quantitatively by pressurizing mixtures of \u03b5-Zn(OH)2 (wulfingite) and water to 1\u20132 GPa and applying slightly elevated temperatures, 100\u2013200 \u00b0C. The monoclinic crystal structure was characterized from powder X-ray diffraction data (space group C2\/c, a = 15.342(7) \u00c5, b = 6.244(6) \u00c5, c = 10.989(7) \u00c5, \u03b2 = 100.86(1)\u00b0). It features neutral zinc hydroxide layers, composed of octahedrally and tetrahedrally coordinated Zn ions with a 3:2 ratio, in which H2O is intercalated. The interlayer d(200) distance is 7.53 \u00c5. The H-bond structure of Zn5(OH)10\u00b72H2O was analyzed by a combination of infrared\/Raman spectroscopy, computational modeling, and neutron powder diffraction. Interlayer H2O molecules are strongly H-bonded to five surrounding OH groups and appear orientationally disordered. The decomposition of Zn5(OH)10\u00b72H2O, which occurs thermally between 70 and 100 \u00b0C, was followed in an in situ transmission electron microscopy study and ex situ annealing experiments. It yields initially 5\u201315 nm sized hexagonal w-ZnO crystals, which, depending on the conditions, may intergrow to several hundred nm-large two-dimensional, flakelike crystals within the boundary of original Zn5(OH)10\u00b72H2O particles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.0c02075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,6]],"date-time":"2020-07-06T16:18:42Z","timestamp":1594052322000},"page":"17617-17627","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":69,"title":["Layered Zinc Hydroxide Dihydrate, Zn5(OH)10\u00b72H2O, from Hydrothermal Conversion of \u03b5-Zn(OH)2 at Gigapascal Pressures and its Transformation to Nanocrystalline\nZnO"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Alisa","family":"Gordeeva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Stockholm University , , ,","place":["Stockholm, Sweden, SE-106 91"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying-Jui","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ume\u00e5 University , , ,","place":["Ume\u00e5, Sweden, SE-901 87"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Istvan Z.","family":"Jenei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stockholm University , , ,","place":["Stockholm, Sweden, SE-106 91"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paulo H.
