Abstract

The title compound {[Ca(CHZ)2(H2O)](NTO)2 · 3.5H2O}n was synthesized by using an aqueous solution of calcium 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-onate and carbohydrazide (CHZ, NH2NHCONHNH2). Its molecular structure was determined by X-ray diffraction and its crystals have monoclinic form, with space group C2/c, where a = 2.4483(4) nm, b = 1.2581(2) nm, c = 1.6269(3) nm, β = 121.168(12)°, V = 4.2879(13) nm3, Z = 8, dc = 1.727 g · cm-3, μ (Mo Ka) = 3.9 cm-1, M = 557.47, F(000) = 2312. The coordination polyhedron is a tricapped trigonal prism in a tetradecahedron with a coordination number of nine. The whole molecule has many long chains formed through the carbohydrazide bridges, and every long chain is unlimited along the c axis. The long chains are linked by hydrogen bonds to form the crystal structure.
