The novel polymeric potassium complex with a new coordination mode of orotic acid [K(mu(5)-H(2)Or)(mu-H2O)](n): Synthesis and structural characterization

Abstract

Novel polynuclear seven-coordinated potassium complex, [K(mu(5)-H(2)Or)(mu-H2O)](n)(H(3)Or = orotic acid), with the new coordination mode of orotic acid has been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectra, X-ray diffraction. The orotate ligand exhibits new coordination mode of mu 5-kappa O, O: kappa O', O': O'' for H(2)Or(-). (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
