Abstract
A three-dimensional X-ray crystal structure analysjs has been carried out on the title complex, [Na(C20H36O6)(H2O)2]Br. Crystals are triclinic. Space group P, with a= 10·32(1), b= 11·34(1), c= 6·67(1)Å, α= 116° 42′(6′), β= 109° 48′(5′), γ= 100° 10′(6′). The sodium ion lies on a centre of symmetry, and is surrounded by an approximately planar ring of six oxygen atoms of one ligand. (Na–O 2·67–2·97 Å). The hexagonal bipyramidal arrangement about the sodium is completed by two water molecules, at 2·34 Å. The water molecules form hydrogen bonds to the bromide ion, resulting in an infinite chain structure.
