Abstract
In the title compound, Na+center dot C6H4IO3S-center dot H2O, the Na atom is hexacoordinated by O atoms, forming a two-dimensional sheet-like structure in the bc plane, with the iodobenzene rings protruding above and below. Na center dot center dot center dot O contact distances are in the range 2.419 (2)-2.7218 (18) angstrom and O center dot center dot center dot Na center dot center dot center dot O angles are in the range 73.70 (5)-158.64 (7)degrees . The crystal structure is stabilized by O-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions. The I atom is disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.78 (2) and 0.22 (2).
