Aquabis[N′-(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazidato(0.5−)-κ2N′,O]sodium(I)

Abstract

The title compound, [Na(C10H9.5N2O2S2)2(H2O)], is a molecular sodium complex with N′-(1,3-dithiolan-2-yl)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide ligands with the negative charge spread evenly over both, and a water molecule. The NaI ion coordination is distorted trigonal–bipyramidal, formed by two N and three O atoms, with the NaI ion lying on a twofold rotation axis. Intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds occur. Molecules pack as discrete units and the crystal packing is stabilized by strong O—H...O hydrogen bonds, which give rise to chains along [010]; the chains are interlinked by strong O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
