title: Benzene-1,3,5-triyl tris-(methane-sulfonate).
abstract: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(9)H(12)O(9)S(3), the two methanesulfonate groups re located one above and one below the ring plane. The C-O-S angle range is 119.3 (2)-121.1 (2)°. This conformation is different from that of the benzene analog 1,2,5-tris-(p-toluene-sulfonate), which is a three-legged 'table' with all fragments of the p-toluene-sulfonate on top of the benzene ring. In the crystal, the supra-molecular aggregation is completed by the presence of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
