Well, $C a {(H C O_{3})}_{2}$ $Ca(HCO_3)_2$ is $calcium bicarbonate$ $"calcium bicarbonate"$ .

I am not sure whether this material can be obtained as a solid state.

The formula is certainly correct. As written, $C a {(H C O_{3})}_{3}$ $Ca(HCO_3)_3$ would imply a $C a^{3 +}$ $Ca^(3+)$ ion, which is unknown. Why?
