Abstract: In the title complex, [Rb(C₃₆H₆₁O₁₁)]·2H₂O, the Rb⁺ cation is coordinated by seven O atoms of monensin. Rb-O distances range from 2.7870 (17) to 3.1429 (17) Å. Both O atoms of the carboxylate group are involved in the coordination of Rb. The structure displays inter- and intramolecular O-HO and C-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions.
