Potassium N-bromo-2-nitrobenzenesulfonamidate monohydrate

B. T. Gowda, S. Foro and H. S. Spandana

Abstract: In the title compound, K⁺·C₆H₄BrN₂O₄S^-·H₂O, the K⁺ ion is hepta-coordinated by two O atoms from two different water molecules, three sulfonyl O atoms from three N-bromo-2-nitro-benzenesulfonamidate anions and two nitro O atoms from two N-bromo-2-nitro-benzenesulfonamidate anions. The S-N distance of 1.576 (4) Å is consistent with an S=N double bond. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O-HN and O-HBr hydrogen bonds which link the molecules into polymeric layers running parallel to the bc plane.
