title: Poly[(μ(5)-2-methyl-3,5-dinitro-benzoato)sodium].
abstract: In the crystal of the title coordination polymer, [Na(C(8)H(5)N(2)O(6))](n), the Na(I) ion is linked to five nearby anions. Their bonding modes are three monodentate carboxyl-ate O atoms, one O,O'-bidentate carboxyl-ate group and one O,O'-bidentate nitro group. This results in an irregular NaO(7) coordination geometry for the metal ion. This connectivity leads to a layered network propagating in (100).
