Poly[μ2-aqua-aqua[μ3-N-butyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamato-κ3O,O′:S]sodium]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Na(C7H14NOS2)(H2O)2]n, the NaI cation is coordinated by five O atoms [Na—O = 2.3142 (11)–2.4677 (10) Å] from three aqua and two N-butyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamate (L) ligands and one S atom [Na—S = 3.0074 (6) Å] from a third L ligand in a highly distorted octahedral geometry. Two aqua ligands related by an inversion center bridge two NaI cations, and each L ligand coordinates three NaI cations, leading to a layered arrangement aligned parallel to the bc plane. Intermolecular O—H...S hydrogen bonds are observed in the inner part of each polymeric layer; these are packed along the a axis and held together by weak van der Waals forces.
