Sodium 2-nitroethanaloximate forms a layered-framework structure.
In the title compound, [Na(C(2)H(3)N(2)O(3))], the Na(+) cation lies on a centre of inversion in space group P2(1)/m and all the atoms of the anion lie on a mirror plane. Na is octahedrally coordinated by four O and two N atoms from six different anions and each anion is coordinated to six different Na(+) cations, forming chains of confacial octahedra which link the anion layers. Within these layers, the individual anions are linked by both O-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds.
