Abstract
Cu succinate was obtained by treating of naturally occuring azurite with detergent which presumedly contained succinic acid. The tetragonal structure of Cu(C4H4O4)H2O was established from X-ray single crystal diffraction, λ (CuKα = 1.5418 Å); space group P42212; a = 8.853(4) Å, c = 14.866(8) Å, V = 1165.1 Å3; M = 197.63; Dx = 2.25 g/cm3; Z = 8; μ = 5.049 mm−1; F(000) = 792; R = 0.078 for 366 reflections. The new phase is characterized by a layered structure, which consists of Cu cations linked by chelating – bridging dicarboxylate anions. The structure is closely related to that of copper maleate hydrate.Keywords
