Crystal structure of potassium tri-hydrogen di-malonate: a neutron diffraction study
Abstract
Potassium tri-hydrogen di-malonate is an acid salt of Type B2, and has three very short, but unsymmetrical hydrogen bonds; two of these, with O ⋯ O = 2·543(8) and 2·554(7)Å respectively, are intermolecular, whilst the third, with O ⋯ O = 2·513(9)Å, is intramolecular, and completes a planar six-membered ring.
