Abstract:
In the structure of the title complex, [Cs(C8H4Cl3O2)(H2O)] n , the caesium salt of the commercial herbicide fenac [(2,3,6-tri-chloro-phen-yl)acetic acid], the irregular eight-coordination about Cs(+) comprises a bidentate O:Cl-chelate inter-action involving a carboxyl-ate-O atom and an ortho-related ring-substituted Cl atom, which is also bridging, a triple-bridging carboxyl-ate-O atom and a bridging water mol-ecule. A two-dimensional polymer is generated, lying parallel to (100), within which there are water-carboxyl-ate O-H⋯O hy-dro-gen-bonding inter-actions.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
