Gg. Aleksandrov et al., SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF PIPERAZINIUM BIS(1-HYDROXYETHANE-1,1-DIPHOSPHONATE), Crystallography reports, 42(3), 1997, pp. 392-395
The synthesis and the X-ray structure analysis of [H2N(CH2CH2)(2)NH2](
2+)(H3L)(2)(-) crystal, where H4L is 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic
acid (PO3H2)(2)C(OH)CH3, are reported. Two phosphonic groups of the an
ion are inequivalent: one of them is a neutral group, P(1)O3H2, and th
e other is a singly charged group, P(2)O3H-. Piperazinium cations and
H3L- anions are interlinked by an extended hydrogen-bonded network.
