Synthesis and crystal structure of sodium (ethane-1,2-diyl)bis[(3-methoxypropyl)phosphinodithiolate] octahydrate

Abstract

The title compound, catena-poly[[triaquasodium]-di-μ-aqua-[triaquasodium]-μ-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis[(3-methoxypropyl)phosphinodithiolato]], [Na2(C10H22O2P2S4)(H2O)8]n, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1. The dianionic [CH3O(CH2)3P(=S)(S—)CH2CH2P(=S)(S—)(CH2)3OCH3]2− ligand fragments are joined by a dicationic [Na2(H2O)8]2+ cluster that includes the oxygen of the methoxypropyl unit of the ligand to form infinite chains.
