Poly[[μ-aqua-aqua-[μ(4)-ethyl (dichloro-methyl-ene)diphospho-nato]sesqui-calcium(II)] acetone hemisolvate
Abstract:
The title compound, {[Ca(1.5)(C(3)H(5)Cl(2)O(6)P(2))(H(2)O)(2)]·0.5CH(3)COCH(3)·4.5H(2)O}(n), has a two-dimensional polymeric structure. The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent Ca(2+) cations connected by a chelating and bridging ethyl (dichloro-methyl-ene)diphos-pho-n-ate(3(-)) ligand and an aqua ligand. One of the Ca atoms, lying on a centre of symmetry, has a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry, while the other Ca atom is seven-coordinated in a distorted monocapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. The polymeric layers are further connected by extensive O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network. The acetone solvent mol-ecule and one uncoordin-ated water mol-ecule are located on twofold rotation axes.

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:
