A new water···Na+ coordination motif in an unexpected diatrizoic acid disodium salt crystal form

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Oct 11;48(79):9822-4. doi: 10.1039/c2cc32766j.

Abstract

The disodium salt of diatrizoic acid crystallises as a tetragonal channel hydrate structure. One of the incorporated water molecules is coordinated to three individual sodium cations in a unique geometry.
