Other compounds with this structure

  • KHCO3

  • This is more commonly known as sodium bicarbonate or baking soda.
  • (Sass, 1962) do not locate the hydrogen atoms.
  • (Zachariasen, 1933) applied chemical and crystallographic reasoning and placed the hydrogen atoms halfway between each O II atom and the nearest O III atom. We use this structure, while realizing that the hydrogen positions are only approximate.
