title: Sodium (1R,2S,5S)-2-hydr-oxy-6,6-dimethyl-bicyclo-[3.1.1]heptane-2-carboxyl-ate penta-hydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, Na(+)·C(10)H(15)O(3) (-)·5H(2)O, the vertices of a distorted octa-hedron centred on the Na(+) cation are defined by six O atoms of water mol-ecules. The edge-sharing Na(H(2)O)(6) octa-hedra form a chain extended along the b-axis direction with adjacent Na(+) cations related by a twofold screw symmetry operation. The organic anion, which is not in close contact with the Na(+ )cation, is hydrogen-bonded to an uncoordinated water mol-ecule and to water mol-ecules of the Na(H(2)O)(6) octa-hedra.
