D. Braga et al., Seeds obtained from a hydrated polymorph permit crystallisation of an elusive anhydrous organometallic zwitterion, CHEM COMMUN, (19), 1999, pp. 1949-1950
Single crystals of the anhydrous polymorphic modification of the organometa
llic zwitterion [Co-III(eta(5)-C5H4CO2H)(eta(5)-C5H4CO2)] can only be obtai
ned by seeding the solution with seeds prepared after stepwise dehydration
and consequent phase transition at 506 K of the hydrated material [Co-III(e
ta(5)-C5H4CO2H)(eta(5)-C5H4CO2)]. 3H(2)O.
