Abstract:
The hydro-thermal reaction of benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid and 4,4'-trimethyl-ene dipiperidine leads to the formation of the title compound, C(13)H(28)N(2) (2+)·C(8)H(4)O(4) (2-). The anion is located on a center of inversion whereas the cation is positioned on a twofold rotation axis. In the crystal structure, the anions and cations are linked by N-H⋯O and N-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds.

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.
