Bis(2-hy-droxy-ethanaminium) biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxyl-ate
Abstract:
In the title compound, 2C(2)H(8)NO(+)·C(14)H(8)O(4) (2-), the dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the dianion is 9.95 (12)°. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked via inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating layers lying parallel to (001).

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.

π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...
