Bis(melaminium) succinate succinic acid monosolvate dihydrate
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the solvated title salt, 2C(3)H(7)N(6) (+)·C(4)H(4)O(4) (2-)·C(4)H(6)O(4)·2H(2)O, contains one essentially planar melaminium (2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium) cation (r.m.s. deviation of the non-H atoms = 0.0097 Å), one-half of a succinate anion, one-half of a succinic acid solvent mol-ecule and one water molecule of crystallization; full mol-ecules are generated by inversion symmetry. Supra-molecular layers parallel to (12-1) are formed through extensive inter-molecular hydrogen bonding of the types O-H⋯O, N-H⋯N and N-H⋯O between the components.

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.

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:
Factors Affecting Dissolution: Polymorphism, Amorphism and Pseudopolymorphism
Some polymorphic crystals possess lower aqueous solubility than their amorphous counterparts, leading to incomplete absorption. For instance, the oral suspension of Chloramphenicol, which...
