X-Ray Evidence for Metal-to-Metal Bonds in Cupric and Chromous Acetate

Nature volume 171, pages 36–37 (1953)Cite this article

Abstract

As a preliminary to the structural determination of chromous acetate, it was decided to study the much more stable cupric acetate Cu(CH3COO)2.H2O during the early X-ray investigations. Both these compounds are monoclinic with space group (C2/c, and their unit-cell dimensions, determined from X-ray measurements and given herewith, are almost identical.
