Crystal structure of poly[(acetonitrile-κN)(μ3-7-{[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]methyl}-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonato-κ4N,O:O′:O′′)sodium]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Na(C22H19N4O4S)(CH3CN)]n, the NaI atom adopts a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry, formed by one N and one O atom of the qunolinol moiety in the ligand, two O atoms of sulfonate moieties of two adjacent ligands and the N atom of the coordinated acetonitrile solvent. The NaI atom is located well above the mean basal plane of the square-based pyramid. The apical position is occupied by a sulfonate O atom of a neighboring ligand. Three N atoms of the bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine moiety in the ligand are not coordinated by the sodium atom. The molecule forms an intramolecular bifurcated O—H...[N(tertiary amine),N(pyridine)] hydrogen bond, generating S(6) and S(5) rings. In the crystal, four molecules are linked by four Na—O(sulfonato) bridged coordination bonds, forming a supramolecular centrosymmetric tetramer unit comprising an eight-membered ring, and generating a two-dimensional network sheet. The molecules of different sheets form intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds, and thereby a three-dimensional network structure.
