Abstract

The crystal structure of the sodium salt of mesotrione, namely, catena-poly[[sodium-μ3-2-[(4-methanesulfonyl-2-nitrophenyl)carbonyl]-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-olato] ethanol monosolvate], {[Na(C14H12NO7S)]C2H5OH} n , is described. The X-ray structural analysis results reveal that the coordination sphere is established by two chelating O atoms, the O atom of the coordinated ethanol molecule, and an O atom from the methylsulfonyl group of a neighboring molecule. Simultaneously, an O atom of the cyclohexane fragment serves as a bridge to a neighboring sodium ion, forming a flat Na–O–Na–O quadrangle, thereby forming a mono-periodic polymer. The structure displays O—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...O short contacts. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data indicate that the sodium salt of mesotrione decomposes in four stages.
