Betaine (trimethylammonioacetate) binary compound with sodium iodide

In the title compound,catena-poly[[[bis[2-(trimethylazaniumyl)acetato-κO]sodium]-di-μ-aqua-[diaquasodium]-di-μ-aqua] diiodide], {[Na2(C5H11NO2)2(H2O)6]I2}n, both Na+ions have distorted octahedral environments (coordination number 6). The coordination polyhedra of the sodium ions are connected by common edges forming an infinite chain of ions along [100]. The chains and betaine zwitterions are assembled into infinitive layersviahydrogen bonds. These layers are connectedviaelectrostatic attraction between iodide ions and positive trimethylazanium groups in the crystal.

Crystal structures of binary compounds of meldonium 3-(1,1,1-tri-methyl-hydrazin-1-ium-2-yl)prop-ano-ate with sodium bromide and sodium iodide

3-(1,1,1-Tri-methyl-hydrazin-1-ium-2-yl)propano-ate (C6H14N2O2, M, more commonly known under its commercial names Meldonium or Mildronate) co-crystalizes with sodium bromide and sodium iodide forming polymeric hydrates poly[[tetra-μ-aqua-di-aqua-bis-[3-(1,1,1-tri-methyl-hydrazin-1-ium-2-yl)propano-ate]disodium] dibromide tetra-hydrate], [Na2(C6H14N2O2)2(H2O)6]Br2·4H2O, and poly[[di-μ-aqua-di-aqua-[μ-3-(1,1,1-tri-methyl-hydrazin-1-ium-2-yl)propano-ate]disodium] diiodide], [Na2(C6H14N2O2)2(H2O)4]I2. The coordination numbers of the sodium ions are 6; the coordination polyhedra can be described as distorted octa-hedra. Metal ions and M zwitterions are assembled into infinite layers via electrostatic inter-actions and hydrogen-bonded networks. These layers are connected via electrostatic attraction between halogenide ions and positive tri-methyl-hydrazinium groups into a three-dimensional structure.
