Bis(tetraethylammonium) oxalate dihydrate

T. J. McNeese and R. D. Pike

Abstract: The title compound, 2C₈H₂₀N⁺·C₂O₄^2-·2H₂O, synthesized by neutralizing H₂C₂O₄·2H₂O with (C₂H₅)₄NOH in a 1:2 molar ratio, is a deliquescent solid. The oxalate ion is nonplanar, with a dihedral angle between carboxylate groups of 64.37 (2)°. O-HO hydrogen bonds of moderate strength link the O atoms of the water molecules and the oxalate ions into rings parallel to the c axis. The rings exhibit the graph-set motif R₄⁴(12). In addition, there are weak C-HO interactions in the crystal structure.
