Studies in Crystal Structure. Part A. Acid Salts of Salicylic Acid. Part B. Feist's Acid and Its Salts

Downie, Thomas Cochrane (1952) Studies in Crystal Structure. Part A. Acid Salts of Salicylic Acid. Part B. Feist's Acid and Its Salts. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

The work described in this thesis is divided into two main parts. Part A describes researches into the crystal and molecular structure of certain acid salts of salicylic acid. Part B is a report of the attempts to elucidate, by X-ray analysis, the structure of Feist's acid (3-methyl-Delta2-cyclopropene-1:2-dicarboxylic acid). Part A - Ammonium Hydrogen Bis-salicylatc Monohydrate. The structure of this compound has been elucidated by the Isomorphous Replacement method in which use was made of the isomorphous rubidium and potassium acid salts. The unit cell dimensions of the ammonium salt were found to be a = 17.28A, b = 3.89A, c = 22.32A with beta = 98
