Dihydroxialumini sodium carbonate (INN) or dihydroxyaluminum sodium carbonate (USAN) is a basic carbonate of aluminium and sodium, used as an antacid. It is prepared by the reaction of an aluminium salt with excess sodium carbonate in the presence of sodium hydroxide at pH 7.2–10.5.[1] It also occurs naturally as the mineral dawsonite.[2]
The unusual International Nonproprietary Name (INN) arises from an uncertainty in the structure of the commercial product. The mineral form has six-coordinate aluminium (four hydroxide ions and two trans carbonate ions) and six-coordinate sodium (four carbonate ions and two trans hydroxide ions, with distorted octahedral coordination compressed along a threefold axis):[3] hence it is best described as a basic carbonate of sodium and aluminium. The commercial product is amorphous, and has been described either as a carbonate of the dihydroxidoaluminium(1+) cation [Al(OH)2]+ with sodium; or as a sodium salt of the carbonatodihydroxidoaluminate(1−) anion [Al(CO3)(OH)2]− with a bidentate carbonato ligand and four-coordinate aluminium.
