Abstract
The crystal structure of calcium levulinate dihydrate forms a one-dimensional coordination polymer based on a CaO8 complex unit which lies on a twofold rotation axis. This unit comprises two monodentate water O-atom donors and six carboxylate O-atom donors, two of which are also bridging, from the two bidentate chelate levulinate ligands. The complex chains are stabilized by intra- and intermolecular water O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an overall three-dimensional structure.
