Abstract
The crystal structure, infrared spectrum and thermal stability of 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid sodium salt have been studied. The compound of general formula {[Na2L2 · 3H2O] · H2O} n is a two-dimensional polymer, in which Na ions are bridged by one or two water molecules and additionally coordinated to oxygen atoms of carboxylate, hydroxy and methoxy groups. The structure is stabilized by a hydrogen bond network. The compound dehydrates at 75°C and then decomposes at 150°C. The IR spectra of the salt and free acid are discussed.
