Packing diagram of K1 as viewed along the b axis. Note the alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic layers that propagate parallel to the ab plane. The three-dimensional coordination polymer propagates parallel to a and b (and throughout the hydrophilic layers) via sulfonate and water bridges between the K centres. The coordination polymer propagates parallel to c via K bonding to both the sulfonate head and the OH tail of the azo anions. |
