Poly[µ2-L-alanine-µ3-nitrato-sodium(I)]

Abstract

The title compound, [Na(NO3)(C3H7NO2)](n), was obtained unintentionally as the product of an attempted reaction of sodium molybdate in aqueous solution and the amino acid L-alanine ( ala), in order to obtain a gamma-type octamolybdate, Na-4[Mo8O26(ala)(2)].18H(2)O, coordinated by L-alanine. The coordination geometry around the Na atom can be considered as trigonal-bipyramidal, with three bidentate nitrate anions coordinating through their O atoms and two L-alanine molecules each coordinating through one carboxylate O atom
