In the title salt, Na+·C7H7ClNO2S-·1.5H2O, one of the water molecules lies on a twofold axis. The sodium ion shows an O6 octahedral coordination defined by three water O atoms and three sulfonyl O atoms derived from three different anions. The S-N distance of 1.5898 (19) Å is consistent with an S=N double bond. The crystal structure is stabilized by N-H
O and O-H
Cl hydrogen bonds.
The purity of the commmercial sample (TCI Chemicals, Tokyo Kasei) was checked and characterized by recording its infrared and NMR spectra and estimating the amount of active chlorine present in it by the iodometric method (Gowda et al., 2005). The single crystals used in X-ray diffraction studies were grown in a water solution of (I) by slow evaporation at room temperature.
The O-bound H atoms were located in difference map and their positional parameters were refined freely [O—H = 0.77 (3)– 0.83 (3) Å]. The other H atoms were positioned in their idealized geometry using a riding model [C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å]. All H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameters set to 1.2 times of the Ueq of the parent atom.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The chemistry of N-halo-arylsulfonamides is of interest due to their diverse characteristics (Gowda et al., 2005). In the present work, the structure of sodium N-chloro-2-methyl- benzenesulfonamidate (I) has been determined to explore substituent effects on the solid-state structures of N-halo arylsulfonamidates (Gowda et al., 2007a, b, c). The structure of (I), Fig. 1, resembles the sodium salts of N-chloro-4-chloro-benzenesulfonamidate (Gowda et al., 2007a), N-chloro-2-methyl-4-chloro-benzenesulfonamidate (Gowda et al., 2007b), N-bromo-benzenesulfonamidate (Gowda et al., 2007c), and other sodium N-chloro-arylsulfonamidates (George et al., 2000; Olmstead & Power, 1986). The sodium ion shows octahedral coordination defined by three water-O atoms and by three sulfonyl-O atoms derived from three different anions. There is no interaction between the nitrogen and sodium ions in (I). The N1—S1 distance of 1.5898 (19) Å is consistent with a S—N double bond and is in agreement with those observed with related N-chloro arylsulfonamides. In this description, the negative charge on the anion is distributed over the oxygen atoms. With the association described above for the Na+ ion along with N-H···O and O-H···Cl hydrogen bonding, Table 1, the molecular packing comprises layers stacked along the c axis (Fig. 2).
