Hexaaquamagnesium(II) benzene-1,4-dioxyacetate

Q. Yang, S. Gao and L.-H. Huo

Abstract: The title complex, alternatively called hexaaquamagnesium(II) p-phenylenebis(oxyacetate), [Mg(H₂O)₆](C₁₀H₈O₆), has been synthesized by the reaction of Mg(NO₃)₂·6H₂O and benzene-1,4-dioxyacetic acid in an aqueous solution. The Mg^II atom is coordinated by six water molecules to form an octahedron [Mg-O = 2.0433 (16)-2.1281 (18) Å]. The cations and anions, which lie on centres of symmetry, are linked by hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network structure.
