Poly[[triaquacadmium(II)-mu(3)-lactato] dilactatoboron(1-)]

Abstract

In the title compound, {[Cd(C3H5O3)(H2O)(3)](C6H8BO6)}(n), the Cd atom is seven-coordinate. The Cd - O distances range from 2.290 ( 3) to 2.518 (2) angstrom. The structure is stabilized by a network of O - H center dot center dot center dot O and C - H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds involving the H atoms of the lactate in the cation and the O atoms of the borodilactate anion.
