Abstract
Sow of the crystalline acid salts formed by monobasic acids (HX) include “very short” hydrogen b0nds.l The two anion residues of such a formula as KHX, prove to be crystallographically equivalent; and the O-.H-O bond connecting them lies across a symmetry element of the crystal. We have now discovered an analogous situation in acid salts of some dibasic acids. Potassium hydrogen malonate would traditionally be represented by the formula
