Large single crystals of rubidium nickel hexahydrate Rb{sub 2}Ni(SO{sub 4}){sub 2} . 6H{sub 2}O (RNSH) of optical quality were grown for the first time. The atomic structure of RNSH crystals was refined. A comparative analysis of the crystal structures of (M{sup 1+}){sub 2}Ni(SO{sub 4}){sub 2} . 6H{sub 2}O, where M{sup 1+} is K, Rb, or Cs, was performed. The solubility curve of RNSH in water was measured. The optical and thermogravimetric properties of RNSH were investigated. The internal defect structure of RNSH crystals was studied by X-ray topography.
