Crystal structure of poly[μ-acetato-bis[μ-2-oxo-2-(quinolin-8-yl)ethanoato]trisodium]

Abstract

The title compound [Na3(C11H6NO3)2(C2H3O2)]n, crystallized through diffusion of diethyl ether into methanol as needles. There are three crystallographically independent Na+cations present, each exhibiting a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, two through coordination by five O atoms and one N atom, and one through coordination by six O atoms. A series of intermolecular O...Na and N...Na contacts leads to the formation of chains along thea-axis direction.
