Crystal structure of dirubidium hydrogen citrate from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data and DFT comparison.


ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of dirubidium hydrogen citrate, 2Rb+·HC6H5O72-, has been solved and refined using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. The un-ionized carb-oxy-lic acid group forms helical chains of very strong hydrogen bonds (O?O ? 2.42?Å) along the b axis. The hy-droxy group participates in a chain of intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds along the c axis. These hydrogen bonds result in corrugated hydrogen-bonded layers in the bc plane. The Rb+ cations are six-coordinate, and share edges and corners to form layers in the ab plane. The inter-layer contacts are composed of the hydro-phobic methyl-ene groups.
