Abstract
The title salt features BO4 tetrahedra at the centre of [B(C3H2O4)2]− anions.
In the title salt, NH4+·[B(C3H2O4)2]−, the boron atom is chelated by two malonate ligands in a bidentate fashion, resulting in a BO4 tetrahedron with both chelate rings adopting shallow boat conformations. The extended structure features five N—H⋯O and three C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, accounting for approximately 69.9% of the total intermolecular interactions.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
