title: Poly[μ2-aqua-aqua-[μ3-N-butyl-N-(2-hy-droxy-ethyl)di-thio-carbamato-κ(3) O,O':S]sodium].
abstract: In the title compound, [Na(C7H14NOS2)(H2O)2] n , the Na(I) cation is coordinated by five O atoms [Na-O = 2.3142 (11)-2.4677 (10) Å] from three aqua and two N-butyl-N-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)di-thio-carbamate (L) ligands and one S atom [Na-S = 3.0074 (6) Å] from a third L ligand in a highly distorted octa-hedral geometry. Two aqua ligands related by an inversion center bridge two Na(I) cations, and each L ligand coordinates three Na(I) cations, leading to a layered arrangement aligned parallel to the bc plane. Inter-molecular O-H⋯S hydrogen bonds are observed in the inner part of each polymeric layer; these are packed along the a axis and held together by weak van der Waals forces.
