Abstract:  X-ray amorphous CuSO₄ • H_2O which is formed at dehydration of CuSO₄ • 5H₂O in vacuo was studied. The composition of the dehydration product is not constant, but varies between CuSO₄ • H₂O and CuSO₄ depending on dehydration temperature. All these products have irregular arrangement of ions and water molecules which unlike in crystal CuSO₄ • H₂O are not bonded by bridges with two Cu(II) cations.
