Abstract: In the title compound, Na⁺·C₆H₅BrNO₂S^-·1.5H₂O, there is no interaction between the N atom and the Na⁺ cation, and the Na cation exhibits octahedral coordination by three O atoms from water molecules and by three sulfonyl O atoms of three different N-bromobenzenesulfonamide anions. The S-N distance of 1.578 (4) Å is consistent with an S=N double bond, similar to the distance of 1.582 (5) Å observed for the corresponding N-chloro compound. A two-dimensional polymeric layer runs parallel to the ab plane. The water molecules participate in O-HN hydrogen bonds.
