W. Tian et al., STUDY ON THE COORDINATION OF THE HYDROXYL GROUP - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE AND FT-IR SPECTRA OF POTASSIUM HYDROGEN GALACTARATE, Polyhedron, 16(12), 1997, pp. 2055-2058
Potassium hydrogen galactarate monohydrate was prepared for the first
time. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the K+ ion in this comple
x is hepta-coordinated, and two of the four hydroxyl groups are coordi
nated to the K+ ion. The complex forms a hydrogen bonding network. The
results of the FT-IR spectra measurement an in agreement with the con
clusion of X-ray crystal structural study. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science L
