title: In situ formation of meso-2,2'-oxydisuccinate via intermolecular dehydration coupling of D,L-malic acid: first coordination polymer of 2,2'-oxydisuccinate involving ether oxygen coordination: [Cd2(meso-odsc)(H2O)].
abstract: The first coordination polymer of 2,2'-oxydisuccinate, [Cd(2)(meso-odsc)(H(2)O)](odsc =meso-2,2'-oxydisuccinate), was hydrothermally synthesized from CdSO(4) and D,L-malic acid; X-ray crystallography shows that the D,L-malic acid was transformed in situ into meso-odsc via intermolecular dehydration coupling.
