Title: Poly[bis(N,N-dimethylformamide-[kappa]O)([mu]4-naphthalene-1,5-disulfonato)magnesium(II)]

Journal Article · · Acta Crystallogr. E

The structure of the title compound, [Mg(C{sub 10}H{sub 6}O{sub 6}S{sub 2})(C{sub 3}H{sub 7}NO){sub 2}]{sub n}, consists of MgO{sub 6} octahedra ({bar 1} symmetry) connected to naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate ligands ({bar 1} symmetry) in the equatoral plane, forming a two-dimensional network propagating parallel to (010). The coordination sphere of the Mg atom is completed by the O atoms of two N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) molecules in the axial positions. The title compound represents the first time the naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate anion is bound directly to a Mg{sup 2+} atom. Disorder over two positions was found in the DMF molecule in a 0.518 (8):0.482 (8) ratio.
