In the +·C6H4IO3S−·H2O, the potasium cation is 2.693 (3)–2.933 (3) Å from the sulfonate and water O atoms (including symmetry-related atoms) and forms a two-dimensional sheet-like structure in the bc plane, with the iodobenzene rings protruding above and below. The water molecule of crystallization is hydrogen-bonded to sulfonate O atoms within this two-dimensional arrangement. Symmetry-related iodobenzene rings are arranged perpendicular to one another with the I atom ca 4.1 Å from the centroid of the neighbouring benzene ring. In the these two-dimensional sheet-like supramolecular structures are arranged parallel to one another, stacked along the a-axis direction, with the benzene rings interdigitated.

The title compound was prepared following the method used by Chau & Kice (1977), and suitable crystals for X-ray analysis were obtained from the reaction mixture.
The water H-atoms were located from a difference Fourier map and initially refined with distance restraints [O—H = 0.88 (2) Å and H···H = 1.45 (2) Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O)]. In the final rounds of
they were held fixed. The C-bond H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: C—H = 0.93 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The highest residual density peak, of 1.43 e Å-2, is ca 0.84 Å from the Iodine atom.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2007); cell

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

Sulfonic acids belong to an important class of organic compounds particularly the aromatics which have wide applications in different areas (Re et al., 1999). Derivatives of the sodium salt of benzene sulfonic acid were reported as being a scavenger receptor inhibitor (Yoshiizumi et al., 2004). Herein, we report on the crystal structure of the title compound, the potassium salt of 2-iodobenzenesulfoninc acid, in continuation of our research work on the synthesis of biologically active benzothiazine derivatives (Siddiqui et al., 2006, 2007).
The molecular stucture of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The bond lengths and angles are similar to those reported for other benzene sulfonates, for example, potassium 4-chlorobenzenesulfonate (Gowda et al., 2007). The potasium cation is between 2.693 (3) to 2.933 (3) Å from the sulfonate and water O atoms (including symmetry related O atoms) and forms a two-dimensional sheet-like structure in the bc plane, with the iodobenzene rings protruding above and below (Fig. 2). Symmetry related iodobenzene rings are arranged perpendicular to one another, with the iodine atom ca 4.1 Å from the centroid of the neighbouring benzene ring (Fig. 3). The water molecule of crystallization is hydrogen bonded to sulfonate O-atoms (one normal interaction to atom O1, and one rather long interaction to atom O3), within this two-dimensional arrangement (Table 1).
In the crystal structure these 2-D sheet-like supermolecular structures are arranged parallel to one another up the a direction, with the benzene rings interdigited (Fig. 3).
