Abstract

The structure of the title compound consists of columns of Ca ions surrounded by four columns of perbromate ions and four columns of water molecules alternating in pairs. The CaO8 complex was found to be dimensionally similar to corresponding complexes in other simple tetrahydrated calcium salts. The eight coordinating O atoms form a polyhedron which departs only slightly from a (distorted) square antiprism. Each of the crystallographically inequivalent perbromate ions was found to conform to rigid-body behavior while the CaO8 complex did not. Although the perbromate ions depart moderately from regular tetrahedral geometry, the mean Br--O bond length agrees well with previously determined values. Hydrogen bonds in this structure involve water-oxygen acceptors as well as perbromate-oxygen acceptors.
