β¦ Synopsis
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 polymenzation to polyglycolide under elimination of silver chloride. A probable mechanism for a structure-determined reaction in the solid state is discussed.

## Abstract Glycidol (2βepoxyβ1βpropanol) was polymerized under the action of Lewis acids (BF~3~OEt~2,~, SnCl~4~) and protonic acids (CF~3~COOH, CF~3~SO~3~H). Polymers with numberβaverage molecular weights (__MΜ__~n~) varying from 2500 to 6000 g/mol were obtained. The structure of obtained polymers
