Poly[bis-[μ(2)-(dimethyl-aza-nium-yl)methyl-enediphospho-nato]magnesium].

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Mg(C(3)H(10)NO(6)P(2))(2)](n), synthesized by a hydro-thermal method, adopts a one-dimensional polymeric chain structure and is isotypic with the previously reported Cd complex based on the ligand N,N-dimethyl-amino-methane-1,1-diphospho-nic acid (H(4)L). The asymmetric unit contains one half Mg(2+) ion and one H(3)L(-) anion. The unique Mg(2+) ion lies on an inversion center and is octa-hedrally coordinated by O atoms from six phospho-nate groups of four different H(3)L(-) anions. Each H(3)L(-) anion, with one protonated N atom and two phospho-nate OH groups, serves as a tridentate ligand. Two of its six phospho-nate O atoms chelate to a Mg(2+) cation in a bidentate fashion, while a third O atom bridges to a neighbouring Mg(2+) ion. The inter-connection of Mg(2+) ions
