Tetraaquabis(1-hydroxy-2-naphthoato-O²)magnesium(II)

F. Huang and W.-D. Song

Abstract: In the title mononuclear complex, [Mg(C₁₁H₇O₃)₂(H₂O)₄], the Mg^II atom is located on a centre of inversion and is coordinated by two O atoms from two 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate ligands and four water molecules in an octahedral geometry. The structure is consolidated by intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonding, as well as by - stacking interactions between adjacent naphthyl ring systems [centroid-centroid distance between parallel naphthoate rings is 3.768 (2) Å].
