Abstract
The title compound catena-poly[aquasodium-μ2-aqua-μ3-2-nitrocinnamato], [Na(C9H6NO4)(H2O)2]n, the sodium salt of trans-2-nitrocinnamic acid, is a one-dimensional coordination polymer based on six-coordinate octahedral NaO6 centres, comprising three facially related monodentate carboxylate O-atom donors from separate ligands (all bridging) [Na—O = 2.4370 (13)–2.5046 (13) Å], and three water molecules (two bridging and one monodentate) [Na—O = 2.3782 (13)–2.4404 (17) Å]. The structure is also stabilized by intra-chain water–carboxylate and water–nitro O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
