A second monoclinic polymorph of ethylenediammonium bis(hydrogen squarate) monohydrate

L. Zenkhri, T. Bataille and N. Audebrand

Abstract: The title compound, C2H10N22+·2HC4O4-·H2O, a new polymorph of ethylenediammonium bis(hydrogen squarate) monohydrate, was synthesized by slow evaporation of an acid solution. The asymetric unit contains two hydrogen squarate anions, two half-molecules of protonated ethylenediamine arranged around a twofold axis and one water molecule. In the crystal, N-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen squarate anions, protonated N atoms from the amine group and water molecules lead to a three-dimensional framework. In particular, the cohesion between the squarate groups is ensured by very short intermolecular hydrogen bonds bonds. The title compound crystallized together with the previously reported polymorph [Mathew et al. (2002). J. Mol. Struct. 641, 263-279].
