Ethane-1,2-diaminium bis-(4-carb-oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-5-carb-oxy-ate) monohydrate
Abstract:
In the title hydrated molecular salt, C(2)H(10)N(2) (2+)·2C(8)H(9)N(2)O(4) (-)·H(2)O, an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in the anion, forming an S(7) ring. The -CO(2) and -CO(2)H groups make dihedral angles of 3.2 (2) and 2.0 (3)°, respectively, with the five-membered ring. In the crystal, N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture. The methyl group in the anion is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.716 (9):0.284 (9) ratio. The ethylenediamine cation is generated by symmetry and the water molecule lies on a twofold axis.

01:16Nomenclature 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.
02:18Conformations of Ethane and Propane
Staggered conformation is a low energy and more stable conformation with the C-H bonds on the front carbon placed at 60°dihedral angles relative to the C-H bonds on the back carbon, leading to a reduced torsional strain. In staggered ethane, the...

01:28Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
01:11Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
