Title: STRUCTURE OF POTASSIUM HYDROGEN MALEATE BY NEUTRON DIFFRACTION

Journal Article · · Journal of Chemical Physics (U.S.)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1744617· OSTI ID:4297523

The preliminary results of a neutron diffraction study are presented which confirm the existence in potassium hydrogen maleate of a short, strong, hydrogen bond and show the ion to be at least statistically symmetrical. The hydrogen is strongly linked to both neighboring oxygen atoms, and there is an existing mode of correlated motion of considerable amplitude in which the oxygen atoms are displaced but hydrogen is not.
