Poly[(μ₂-nitrato-κ²O:O′)(μ₂-pyrimidinium-2-carboxylato-κ²O:O′)lithium(I)]

Abstract

In the structure of the title compound, [Li(C5H4N2O2)(NO3)]n, the LiI ion is coordinated by two carboxyl­ate O atoms donated by two ligands and two nitrate O atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. LiI ions, bridged by carboxyl­ate O atoms, form mol­ecular ribbons composed of dimeric units. Two nitrate O atoms link the ribbons into mol­ecular layers parallel to (001). Hydrogen bonds are active between protonated heterocyclic N atoms as donors and carboxyl­ate O atoms as acceptors. The layers are held together by van der Waals inter­actions.
