Abstract:
The itle compound, [Ca(C(6)H(3)ClNO(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n), contains polymeric chains extending along [100] that are generated by inversion centres. The Ca(2+) ions are bridged by 2-chloronicotinate groups and exhibit an eight-coordination by six carboxylate O atoms of four different 2-chloronicotinate ligands and two O atoms of water molecules. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of a supra-molecular network structure. The π-π contacts between the 2-chloro-nicotinate rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.875 (3) and 3.701 (3) Å] may further stabilize the structure.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
