3,5-Pyrazoledicarboxylic acid monohydrate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(5)H(4)N(2)O(4).H(2)O, the 3, 5-pyrazoledicarboxylic acid (H(3)pdc) molecules are joined into one-dimensional chains by O-H.O and N-H.O hydrogen bonds, with distances of 2.671 (2) and 2.776 (2) A, respectively. The one-dimensional chains form a three-dimensional structure via O-H.OW and OW-HW.N hydrogen bonds, with distances of 2.597 (3) and 2.780 (3) A, respectively. In addition to the potential for forming open-channel frameworks, access to the six coordination atoms of H(3)pdc can be directly controlled by varying the pH of the reaction environment, allowing further control over the design and synthesis of novel coordination polymers using various metal centers.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
Acid Halides to Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis
As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic acid...
Preparation of Acid Anhydrides
The carboxylate ion acts as a nucleophile that attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Subsequently, the re-formation of the carbonyl group with the loss of the chloride ion as a leaving group leads to the formation of an acid...
