In the structure of the title compound, [Mg(C7H3N2O6)2(H2O)4]·4H2O, the slightly distorted octahedral MgO6 coordination polyhedron comprises two trans-related carboxylate O-atom donors from mononodentate 3,5-dinitrobenzoate ligands, and four water molecules. The coordinating water molecules and the four water molecules of solvation give both intra- and inter-unit O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions with carboxylate, water and nitro O-atom acceptors, forming a three-dimensional structure.

The title compound was synthesized by the addition of excess MgCO3 to 15 ml of a hot aqueous ethanolic solution (10:1) of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (0.1 g). After completion of the reaction, the excess MgCO3 was removed by filtration and the solution was allowed to evaporate to partial dryness at room temperature, giving colourless plates of the title compound from which a specimen was cleaved for the X-ray analysis.
Hydrogen atoms on all water molecules were located by difference methods and both positional and isotropic displacement parameters were initially refined but these were then allowed to ride, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). Other H-atoms were included in the
at calculated positions [C—H = 0.93 Å] with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) also using a riding-model approximation.Data collection: CrysAlis PRO (Agilent, 2012); 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. |

Magnesium complexes involving monoanionic nitro-substituted benzoate ligands (L) show both the common [Mg(H2O)6]2+ 2(L) form, e.g. a dihydrate: L = 4-nitrobenzoate (Srinivasan et al., 2007; Arlin et al., 2011), as well as examples in which the ligand is coordinated, e.g. [MgL(H2O)5] (L). HL. H2O (a complex acid adduct: L = 4-nitro-3-hydroxybenzoate) (Morgant et al., 2006) and [MgL2(H2O)4]: (L = 2-nitrobenzoate) (Srinivasan et al., 2011; Arlin et al., 2011). All known examples are monomeric and have essentially octahedral metal stereochemistry.
The title complex, [Mg(C7H3N2O6)2(H2O)4]. 4H2O was obtained from the reaction of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid acid with MgCO3 in aqueous ethanol and the structure is reported here. In this structure (Fig. 1), the slightly distorted octahedral MgO6 coordination polyhedron comprises two trans-related carboxyl O-atom donors from mononodentate 3,5-dinitrobenzoate ligands, and four water molecules [bond range Mg—O, 2.0237 (13)–2.1024 (14) Å (Table 1)]. The coordinated water molecules and the four water molecules of solvation give both intra- and inter-unit O—H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions with carboxyl, water and nitro O-atom acceptors (Table 2), giving a three-dimensional structure (Fig. 2).
In the present complex, the two 3,5-dinitrobenzoate ligands are conformationally similar, with the carboxyl groups lying essentially in the plane of the benzene ring [torsion angles C2—C1—C11—O11 = 178.01 (14)° (A) and 178.90 (14)° (B)]. The C5 nitro groups are variously rotated out of the benzene plane [torsion angles C2—C3—N3—O32 = 154.31 (17)° (A) and 159.03 (15)° (B): C4—C5—N5—O52 = 167.74 (15)° (A) and 163.06 (15)° (B)].
