Abstract:
A new barium acetate phase, di-mu(5)-acetato-tri-mu(4)-acetato-tri-mu(3)-acetato-tri-mu(2)-acetato-mu(2)-acetato-triaquahemiaquahexabarium(II), of analytical formula [Ba(6)(C(2)H(3)O(2))(12)(H(2)O)(3.5)], is described. The asymmetric unit contains six independent Ba centres with coordination numbers varying from 7 to 10 arising from bonding to 12 crystallographically independent acetate ligands and four molecules of water, one of which is disordered over two sites both of occupancy 0.5. Bonding to the acetate ligands creates a completely connected three-dimensional structure. All H atoms of the water molecules participate in hydrogen bonding.

Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
