The title compound, Na(+) x 3C(2)H(6)NO(2)(+) x 2SiF(6)(2-) x 3C(2)H(5)NO(2), arose from an unexpected reaction of glycine and HF with the glass container. It is an unusual hybrid organic-inorganic network built up from chains of vertex-sharing NaF(4)O(2) and SiF(6) octahedra. A pair of glycinium/glycine molecules bridges the chains into a sheet via a centrosymmetric O...H...O link. The other organic species interact with the network by an extensive N-H...F hydrogen-bond network, including bifurcated and trifurcated bonds. Finally, an extremely short C-H...O interaction (H...O = 2.25 Angstrom) is seen in the crystal structure. The Na atom has site symmetry overline1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
