In the title coordination polymer, {[Ba(C8H5Cl2O3)2(H2O)].H2O}n, each Ba(II) atom is nine-coordinated by six carboxylate O atoms and one ether O atom from five symmetry-related 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate ligands, and by two O atoms from water molecules, thus defining a distorted tricapped trigonal prism. The Ba(II) ions are bridged by bidentate water molecules and by tridentate and tetradentate 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate groups, leading to a two-dimensional layer structure. The crystal structure is further stabilized by hydrogen-bonding interactions within each layer.

The sodium diacetate using acetic acid and sodium hydroxide as materials was prepared in which one-step liquid-phase method and microwave method were adopted in the paper. By single factor experiment, the regularities of the influence of various factors including reaction temperature, reaction time and acetic acid-sodium hydroxide ratio on the yield of sodium diacetate were studied. Through the orthogonal experiment the optimum synthesis conditions of sodium diacetate were confirmed that the reaction temperature was 70°C, the reaction time was 60min and the acetic acid-sodium hydroxide ratio was 2.1:1. The product yield was 96.2% under the optimal reaction conditions.

2,2-Dimethylol propionic acid was synthesized by two steps using sodium hydroxide as the catalyst in this article. The influence of various factors on the yield of 2,2-Dimethylol propionic acid were studied by single factor experiment that included condensation temperature, condensation time, propionaldehyde-formaldehyde ratioetc.. On the basis of this foundation, the orthogonal design was carried out in order to confirm the preferable synthesis conditions of 2,2-Dimethylolpropanoic. The results show that the optimal synthesis conditions are as follows: condensation time is 8 hours, condensation temperature is 35°C, propionaldehyde-formaldehyde ratio is 2.2, sodium hydroxide-formaldehyde ratio is 0.03, the oxidation temperature is 90°C, oxidation time is 6 hours. The product yield can reach to 71.35% under these reaction conditions that is higher than the value reported in references.
