J.-W. Liu, S. Gao, L.-H. Huo, Y. Dong and H. Zhao

Abstract: The title complex, [Mg(H₂O)₆](1,3-BDOA)·3H₂O (1,3-BDOA^2- = benzene-1,3-dioxyacetate, C₁₀H₈O₆^2-), consists of an [Mg(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cation, a benzene-1,3-dioxyacetate dianion and three uncoordinated water molecules. The Mg^II atom is coordinated by six water molecules, forming a slightly distorted octahedral coordination. A two-dimensional supramolecular network structure is constructed by hydrogen bonds.
