{[Na1(μ-H(2)O)Na2](2)[(C(2)O(4))(2)Cr(μ-OH)(2)Cr(C(2)O(4))(2)]·H(2)O}(n), a novel hydrated form.

ABSTRACT: The unit cell of the title compound, poly[[μ-aqua-μ-hydroxido-di-μ-oxalato-chromium(III)disodium] monohydrate], {[CrNa(2)(C(2)O(4))(2)(OH)(H(2)O)]·H(2)O}(n), contains four [Na1(μ-H(2)O)Na2][(C(2)O(4))(2)Cr(μ-OH)·H(2)O] formula units, each of which consists of two crystallographically independent Na(+) sites (bridged by one aqua ligand), one half of a centrosymmetric di-μ-hydroxido-bis-[cis-bis-(oxalato)chromate(III)] dimer, [(C(2)O(4))(2)Cr(μ-OH)(2)Cr(C(2)O(4))(2)](4-), and one uncoordin-ated water mol-ecule. The structure is best described as a coordination polymer in which the three-dimensional lattice framework is realized by the inter-connection of the metallic atoms via the O atoms of the aqua, hydroxide and oxalate ligands. One Na atom is hepta-coordinated by one water, one hydroxide
