Polymeric anhydrous sodium 2-aminobenzensulfonate

G. Smith, U. D. Wermuth, D. J. Young and P. C. Healy

Abstract: The crystal structure of anhydrous sodium 2-aminobenzenesulfonate, [Na(C₆H₆NO₃S)]_n, reveals the presence of a two-dimensional sandwich polymer structure based on a distorted octahedral six-coordinate NaO₅N repeating unit. O-Donor atoms are from five different sulfonate groups [Na-O = 2.294 (3)-2.532 (3) Å] and an amine nitrogen [Na-N = 2.572 (3) Å], completing a six-membered chelate ring including Na. Hydrogen bonds also stabilize the core structure. The outer layers of the sandwich comprise the unassociated benzene rings.
