Poly[(μ(2)-nitrato-κO:O')(μ(2)-pyrimidin-ium-2-carboxyl-ato-κO:O')lithium(I)].

ABSTRACT: In the structure of the title compound, [Li(C(5)H(4)N(2)O(2))(NO(3))](n), the Li(I) ion is coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms donated by two ligands and two nitrate O atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Li(I) ions, bridged by carboxyl-ate O atoms, form mol-ecular ribbons composed of dimeric units. Two nitrate O atoms link the ribbons into mol-ecular layers parallel to (001). Hydrogen bonds are active between protonated heterocyclic N atoms as donors and carboxyl-ate O atoms as acceptors. The layers are held together by van der Waals inter-actions.
