Abstract
The crystal structure of the trihydrate sodium salt of the squaric aci d has been determined by X-ray analysis. The squaric anions, linked in ribbons by hydrogen bridges, extend through the crystal in directions parallel to the ab plane diagonals, and are arranged in stacks by the b translation. Adjacent ribbons along the c direction are coplanar, b ut interleaved with sodium cations octahedrally surrounded by oxygen a toms.
