Hey @Smokefoot: what do you mean here by "there are no molecules"? Wyatt Tyrone Smith (talk) 14:56, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for asking. The previous text referred to various molecules. Hydrogen oxalates are ions, not molecules. And the idea of intramolecular proton transfer doesn't apply to solids with extended bonding, which adopt very complicated structures. More questions welcome. --Smokefoot (talk) 15:06, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
