Ammonium and potassium fluoromonooxalatomanganates(II), A[MnF(C2O4)] (A = NH4 or K) and sodium fluoromonooxalatomanganate(II) dihydrate,Na[MnF(C2O4)] · 2H2O

Summary Light pink-white microcrystalline ammonium and potassium fluoromonooxalatomanganates(II), A[MnF(C₂O₄)] (A = NH₄ or K), and sodium fluoromonooxalatomanganate(II) dihydrate, Na[MnF(C₂O₄)] · 2H₂O, have been synthesized by two different methods. Either KMnO₄ is reduced in the presence of 40% HF and alkali metal oxalate, A₂C₂O₄ (A = NH₄, Na or K), or MnO(OH) in 40% HF reacts with A₂C₂O₄. Characterisation was made by elemental analyses, determination of oxidation states, magnetic susceptibility measurements and infrared spectral studies.     

Synthesis and structure of anilinium chloranilate (NH3C6H5)2 · (C6O4C12) and acid ammonium chloranilate dihydrate NH4H5O2(C6O4Cl2)

Conclusions The authors have synthesized anilinium chloranilate (NH₃C₆H₅)₂(C₆O₄Cl₂) (I) and acid ammonium chloranilate dihydrate NH₄H₅O₂(C₆O₄C1₂) (II). By x-ray structural analysis they have established their crystal structures. In crystals of NH₄H₅O₂(C₆O₄Cl₂) they find the ion H₅O ₂ ⁺ with the unusual O-H-O bond length of 2.81 A. The anions of chloranilic acid in crystals (I) and (II) have equal charges but different structures.Translated from IzvestiyaAkademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 487–489, March, 1981.
