“…Moreover, the partially deprotonated ligand appeared to depend roughly on the metal ligand ratio and probably on reaction time [18,20,25,37]. As shown in a comparative study in the series of α,ω-aliphatic dicarboxylic acids [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,37], the optimal hydrogen bonding patterns should be more determining in the deprotonation of these acids than their corresponding pKa. The nature of alkali salts used as starting materials has probably a great effect on the formation of this kind of material, through the pH value of the mixture [38,39,40,41,42,43,44].…”
