4-1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylato)strontium] monohydrate]Each of the carboxylate -CO2 fragments of the dianion ligand in the title compound, {[Sr(C9H4N2O4)(H2O)2]·H2O}n, chelates to a SrII atom and at the same time, one of the two O atoms coordinates to a third SrII atom. The
4-bridging mode of the dianion generates a square-grid layer motif; adjacent layers are connected by O-H
O, O-H
N and N-H
O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. The eight-coordinate Sr atom exists in a distorted square-antiprismatic geometry. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a minor twin component of 24%.
Strontium dichloride hexahydrate (0.027 g, 0.1 mmol), 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid (0.021 g, 0.1 mmol) and water (15 ml) along with a few drops of sodium hydroxide solution that adjusted the pH to about 7 were placed in a 25 ml glass vessel, which was kept at 277 K for several weeks. Colorless block-shaped crystals were obtained in 60% yield.
Carbon- and nitrogen bound H-atoms were generated geometrically, and were constrained to ride on their parent atoms (C–H = 0.93 Å, U = 1.5Ueq(C); N–H 0.88 Å, U = 1.2Ueq(N)).
For the two coordinated water molecules, their H-atoms rotated to fit the electron density. For the free water molecule, their H-atoms were placed in chemically sensible positions on the basis of hydrogen bonding interactions; O–H = 0.84 Å. Their temperature factors were similarly tied. The short intermolecular H3w2···H3w2 contact of < 2.0 Å may be an artifact of possible disorder in the O3w water molecule. However, it was not necessary, to split it into two components.
The structure is a non-merohedral twin; the diffraction intensities were split into two components by PLATON (Spek, 2009).
The final difference Fourier map had a large peak/deep hole in the vicinity of Sr1.
