Abstract

The structures of lithium and potassium acetates were studied by the RHF/6-31G** quantum-chemical method. The metal-oxygen bonds in the dimers (CH3COOLi)2 and (CH3COOK)2 are electrostatic in nature. The bridging lithium bond is intermediate between hydrogen and ionic, and its peculiarity is determined by the deformation of molecular orbitals in the field of the lithium cation. The resulting data allow the variety of glassy smectic mesophases of lithium acetate.
