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 polymerization to polyglycolide under elimination of silver chloride. A probable mechanism for a structure‐determined reaction in the solid state is discussed.
