Poly[[diaqua-bis[μ-(2,4-dichloro-phen-oxy)acetato]calcium(II)] monohydrate]
Abstract:
In the title coordination polymer, {[Ca(C(8)H(5)Cl(2)O(3))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O}(n), the Ca(II) atom is eight-coordinated by six O atoms from four different (2,4-dichloro-phen-oxy)acetate ligands and two water mol-ecules, and displays a distorted square-anti-prismatic coordination geometry. The compound forms an infinite zigzag chain through connection of the metal centers by (2,4-dichlorphen-oxy)acetate ligands and hydrogen bonding of coordinated and inter-stitial water mol-ecules. These chains are further hydrogen bonded with neighboring chains, forming a supra-molecular network.
