Abstract
The crystal structure of anhydrous ammonium acid oxalate, NH4HC2O4, obtained from the thermal decomposition of the related hemihydrate has been determined from powder diffraction data collected with monochromatic laboratory X-rays, using the capillary technique. The crystal structure is monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 4, a = 4.3629(1) Å, b = 13.5657(1) Å, c = 7.7100(1) Å, β = 102.602(1)° and V = 445.3(1) Å3. The structure has been solved with the direct methods and refined with the Rietveld method, from which the agreement factors Rwp = 8.19% and RB = 5.18% have been obtained. The crystal structure consists of corrugated layers built from seven-fold ammonium coordination polyhedra and connected by oxalate groups. The hydrogen atom positions have been located and the hydrogen bond network is extensively discussed.
