Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Na(C₆H₁₂O₆)₂]Cl}_n, contains six glucose molecules, three Na⁺ ions and three Cl^- ions, i.e. three independent {[Na(C₆H₁₂O₆)₂]Cl} units. Each of these units forms polymeric chains along the c axis. Each Na⁺ ion is surrounded by six O atoms from four glucose molecules, forming a distorted octahedral geometry. All glucose molecules adopt chair conformations. The constituent units are linked into a three-dimensional framework by O-HCl and O-HO hydrogen bonds, utilizing all the O-H groups.
