L.-S. Cui, H.-D. Yin, M.-L. Yang and D.-Q. Wang

Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, [Na(C₁₃H₁₁N₃O)₂(CH₃OH)₂]I, is non-planar, with the Na atom chelated by the O atoms and the N atoms of two N'-(3-pyridylmethylene)benzohydrazide ligands and both O atoms of two methanol ligands. The asymmetric unit consists of one half-molecule. The Na atom is located on a crystallographic centre of inversion. The six-coordinate Na atom adopts a distorted octahedral coordination. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-HI and O-HN hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a two-dimensional network.
