Abstract
Magnesium acetate solvates, Mg(OAc)2·nL, and their hydrates were prepared by crystallization of Mg(OAc)2·4H2O or Mg(OAc)2 from different solvents (L = MeOH, EtOH, HOAc). Anhydrous Mg(OAc)2 was obtained by thermal dehydration of the tetrahydrate at 150 °C. X-ray single crystal diffraction mostly with the use of synchrotron radiation allowed the structure determination of Mg(OAc)2(H2O)3(EtOH) (I), Mg(OAc)2(HOAc)2(H2O)2 (II), Mg3(OAc)6(MeOH)6 (III), Mg3(OAc)6(HOAc)2(H2O)2·2HOAc (IV), Mg(OAc)2(HOAc)·1.8(HOAc) (V), Mg(OAc)2·H2O (VI), [Mg3(OAc)6(EtOH)2]·2EtOH (VII), and Mg(OAc)2 (VIII). Structural data were discussed in terms of the number of neutral O-donor ligands per magnesium atom, coordination environment of magnesium atoms, structural functions of acetate groups, and hydrogen bonding systems.
