Abstract
The crystal structure of calcium tartrate esahydrate, CaC4H4O6·6H2O, has been solved by the charge-flipping method from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and refined toR= 0.021, based on 1700 unique observed diffractions. Salient crystallographic data are:a= 7.7390 (1),b= 12.8030 (2),c= 5.8290 (1) Å,Z= 2, and space groupP21212. During the refinement step it was possible to locate all H atoms by difference Fourier synthesis. The tartrate molecule has a (−)-gaucheconformation and is coordinated to two calcium ions to form infinite chains along theaaxis which alternate Ca polyhedra with tartrate molecules. The chains are interlinked by a three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds from four water molecules surrounding the Ca ion, reinforced by hydrogen bonds from one interstitial water molecule. Micro-Raman and FT–IR spectroscopic data are provided.
