In the structure of the title compound, [Li(C8H11O4)(H2O)2]n, the distorted tetrahadral LiO4 coordination sphere comprises two water molecules and two carboxyl O-atom donors from separate bridging cis-2-carboxycyclohexane-1-carboxylate monoanions [Li—O = 1.887 (4)–1.946 (3) Å], giving chain substructures which extend along [010]. Water–water and water–carboxyl O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize these chain structures and provide interchain links, resulting in a two-dimensional layered structure extending parallel to (100).

The title compound was synthesized by heating under reflux for 10 min. a solution of 1 mmol of cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride and 1 mmol of lithium carbonate in 50 ml of 1:1 ethanol–water. After concentration to ca 30 ml the filtered solution was allowed to evaporate at room temperature, giving finally a residual viscous oil in which minor well-formed colourless crystals of the title compound were found.
Hydrogen atoms involved in hydrogen-bonding interactions were located by difference-Fourier methods and their positional parameters were allowed to ride with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). Other hydrogen atoms were included in the
at calculated positions [C—H = 0.97–0.98 Å] with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C)]. The residual positive electron density in the (0.823 e Å-3) is unusually large for this structure and is located 1.02 Å from H12W.The structures of metal complexes with cis-cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (cis-CHDC) are not common in the crystallographic literature with examples largely involving metals of the first-row transition series, e.g. NiII (Zheng et al., 2008), and also with Sr (Robertson & Harrison, 2010). In these complexes the cis-CHDC ligand is usually in the dianionic form. Our 1:1 stoichiometric reaction of cis-CHDC anhydride with lithium carbonate in 50% ethanol–water solution provided minor crystals of the title compound, [C8H11LiO4(H2O)2]n in which the ligand is in the monoanionic form and the structure is reported here.
In this complex (Fig. 1), the LiO4 stereochemistry is distorted tetrahedral, involving two water molecules and two O-donors from separate carboxyl groups of the monoanions in a bridging mode [Li—O range, 1.887 (4)–1.946 (3) Å]. This coordination mode is usual for Li carboxylate complexes, e.g., the analogous pseudopolymorphs of lithium hydrogen phthalate (the monohydrate, the dihydrate and the methanol monosolvate: Gonschorek & Küppers, 1975; Küppers, 1978; Adiwidjaja & Küppers, 1978) and with lithium 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (Yang & Ng, 2007). In the title compound, the complex units form one-dimensional chain substructures which extend along [010] (Fig. 2). Within the chains, water–water and water–carboxyl hydrogen bonds, including a three-centre O—H···Ocarboxyl cyclic interaction involving O2W and infinite water chains involving O1W (Table 1), stabilize the structure. In addition, a strong carboxylic acid–carboxyl O—H···O hydrogen bond and water–carboxyl hydrogen bonds from both water donors link the chains, resulting in a two-dimensional layered structure extending parallel to (100) (Fig. 3).

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. |

The structures of metal complexes with cis-cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (cis-CHDC) are not common in the crystallographic literature with examples largely involving metals of the first-row transition series, e.g. NiII (Zheng et al., 2008), and also with Sr (Robertson & Harrison, 2010). In these complexes the cis-CHDC ligand is usually in the dianionic form. Our 1:1 stoichiometric reaction of cis-CHDC anhydride with lithium carbonate in 50% ethanol–water solution provided minor crystals of the title compound, [C8H11LiO4(H2O)2]n in which the ligand is in the monoanionic form and the structure is reported here.
In this complex (Fig. 1), the LiO4 stereochemistry is distorted tetrahedral, involving two water molecules and two O-donors from separate carboxyl groups of the monoanions in a bridging mode [Li—O range, 1.887 (4)–1.946 (3) Å]. This coordination mode is usual for Li carboxylate complexes, e.g., the analogous pseudopolymorphs of lithium hydrogen phthalate (the monohydrate, the dihydrate and the methanol monosolvate: Gonschorek & Küppers, 1975; Küppers, 1978; Adiwidjaja & Küppers, 1978) and with lithium 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (Yang & Ng, 2007). In the title compound, the complex units form one-dimensional chain substructures which extend along [010] (Fig. 2). Within the chains, water–water and water–carboxyl hydrogen bonds, including a three-centre O—H···Ocarboxyl cyclic interaction involving O2W and infinite water chains involving O1W (Table 1), stabilize the structure. In addition, a strong carboxylic acid–carboxyl O—H···O hydrogen bond and water–carboxyl hydrogen bonds from both water donors link the chains, resulting in a two-dimensional layered structure extending parallel to (100) (Fig. 3).
