The 2(C10H4O8)2(H2O)8]·2H2O}n, contains one octahedrally coordinated MgII atom (site symmetry 2/m), one octahedrally coordinated NaI atom (site symmetry 2) and one half of the dihydrogen benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate (btec) ligand, the second half of the ligand being generated by a twofold rotation axis. The basic framework of the title compound features infinite (–Na–Na–Mg–)n chains along [10-1] with the metal cations bridged by the coordinating water molecules. The chains are isolated from each other by μ4-bridging btec ligands, which form intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to uncoordinated water molecules and the coordinated water molecules of a neighbouring chain. In each btec ligand, there are also intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

A mixture of 1,2,4,5-benzene-tetracarboxylic (0.2 g), Na2CO3 (0.1 g), MgO(0.05 g) and H2O (15 ml) was heated at 448 K for 7 d in a sealed 25 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel vessel under autogenous pressure. After cooling to room temperature at a rate of 5 C h-1, colourless prismatic crystals were obtained in low yield.
The H atoms of C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined with a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The water H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps, and then refined with a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).
In recent years, much attention has been paid to coordination polymer materials based on covalent interactions or supramolecular contacts, and huge numbers of novel compounds with interesting structures and topologies have been reported. As part of this research benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate (btec) can be used as a ligand to form various supramolecular architectures with its four rigid carboxyl groups (Gong et al., 2011; Liu et al., 2009; Liu et al., 2010; Zhang et al., 2007). In order to enrich this family of compounds, we used the hydrothermal method to synthesise the title compound, a new sodium(I)-magnesium(II) complex, that is, Na2Mg(btec)2(H2O)8.2(H2O), where btec = benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate, and we determined its structure by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
As shown in Fig. 1, the
of the title compound contains one octahedrally coordinated magnesium atom, one octahedrally coordinated sodium atom and half a benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate (btec) ligand. Each btec ligands contains two intramolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds, with the H atoms bonded to atoms O3 and O2, and connects two Na atoms in a µ2– manner. Each Na atom is coordinated by two cis carboxylate oxygen atoms from two btec ligands and by four water molecules, while each Mg is coordinated by six water molecules. The Na–O bond distances range from 2.2669 (12) to 2.6146 (18) Å, while the Mg–O bond lengths are slightly longer ranging from 2.0301 (14) to 2.1008 (14) Å. Furthermore, NaO6 octahedra and MgO6 octahedra are connected via coordinated water molecules to form a one-dimensional infinite (–Na–Na–Mg–)n chain, as shown in Fig. 2. O—H···O hydrogen bonds link the coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules to neighbouring btec ligands (Table 1).For structures based on the H4btec ligand, see: Gong & Zhang (2011); Liu et al. (2009, 2010); Zhang et al. (2007).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
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. |

In recent years, much attention has been paid to coordination polymer materials based on covalent interactions or supramolecular contacts, and huge numbers of novel compounds with interesting structures and topologies have been reported. As part of this research benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate (btec) can be used as a ligand to form various supramolecular architectures with its four rigid carboxyl groups (Gong et al., 2011; Liu et al., 2009; Liu et al., 2010; Zhang et al., 2007). In order to enrich this family of compounds, we used the hydrothermal method to synthesise the title compound, a new sodium(I)-magnesium(II) complex, that is, Na2Mg(btec)2(H2O)8.2(H2O), where btec = benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate, and we determined its structure by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
As shown in Fig. 1, the asymmetric unit of the title compound contains one octahedrally coordinated magnesium atom, one octahedrally coordinated sodium atom and half a benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate (btec) ligand. Each btec ligands contains two intramolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds, with the H atoms bonded to atoms O3 and O2, and connects two Na atoms in a µ2– manner. Each Na atom is coordinated by two cis carboxylate oxygen atoms from two btec ligands and by four water molecules, while each Mg is coordinated by six water molecules. The Na–O bond distances range from 2.2669 (12) to 2.6146 (18) Å, while the Mg–O bond lengths are slightly longer ranging from 2.0301 (14) to 2.1008 (14) Å. Furthermore, NaO6 octahedra and MgO6 octahedra are connected via coordinated water molecules to form a one-dimensional infinite (–Na–Na–Mg–)n chain, as shown in Fig. 2. O—H···O hydrogen bonds link the coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules to neighbouring btec ligands (Table 1).
