Synthesis and Structure of N-(Hydroxyethyl)ethylenediammonium Sulfite Monohydrate

摘要

A reaction between sulfur(IV) oxide and aqueous N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine yields onium sulfite of composition (HOCH_2CH_2NH_2CH_2CH_2NH_3)SO_3 ? H_2O, which has been characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The three-dimensional stmcture of the salt is stabilized by numerous hydrogen bonds, such as NH…O and OH…O.
