Abstract:
In the title compound, C10H4N2O6·2H2O, the organic mol-ecule has crystallographically imposed inversion symmetry. The atoms of the three fused rings of the mol-ecule are coplanar within 0.0246 (8) Å, while the two hy-droxy O atoms are displaced from the mean plane of the mol-ecule by 0.127 (1) Å. In the crystal, infinite near-planar layers of close-packed mol-ecules are formed by hydrogen bonding between water O-H donor groups and carbonyl O-atom acceptors, and by weak inter-actions between C-H donor groups and water O-atom acceptors. The layers are parallel to the {102} family of planes. The stacked planes are held together by hydrogen bonding between N-OH donor groups and water O-atom acceptors.

IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic acid.
Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Overview
Nomenclature 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.
Structures 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...
