Crystal structure of poly[(aceto-nitrile-κN)(μ3-7-{[bis-(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amino]-meth-yl}-8-hy-droxy-quinoline-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 aceto-nitrile 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-ylmeth-yl)amine moiety in the ligand are not coordinated by the sodium atom. The mol-ecule forms an intra-molecular bifurcated O-H⋯[N(tertiary amine),N(pyridine)] hydrogen bond, generating S(6) and S(5) rings. In the crystal, four mol-ecules are linked by four Na-O(sulfonato) bridged coordination bonds, forming a supra-molecular centrosymmetric tetra-mer unit comprising an eight-membered ring, and generating a two-dimensional network sheet. The mol-ecules of different sheets form inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and thereby a three-dimensional network structure.
