Abstract: The structure of the title compound, Na⁺·C₆H₄BrFNO₂S^-·1.5H₂O, like other sodium N-bromoarylfonamidates, crystallizes with two cations, two anions and three water molecules in the asymmetric unit. The sodium cation shows octahedral coordination by three O atoms of three different water molecules and by three sulfonyl O atoms of three different N-bromo-4-fluorobenzenesulfonamide anions. There is no interaction between the nitrogen atom and sodium ion in the molecule. The S-N distance of 1.591 (6) Å is consistent with an S=N double bond. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-HN hydrogen bonds.
