Notes:
The structure of silver chloroacetate was determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. This represents the first salt of a monohalogenoacetic acid with a monovalent metal whose structure was determined with high precision. The salt undergoes a thermally induced solid-state polymerization to polyglycolide under elimination of silver chloride. A probable mechanism for a structure-determined reaction in the solid state is discussed.
