The novel polymeric potassium complex with a new coordination mode of orotic acid [K(μ5-H2Or)(μ-H2O)]n: Synthesis and structural characterization

Novel polynuclear seven-coordinated potassium complex, [K(μ5-H2Or)(μ-H2O)]n(H3Or = orotic acid), with the new coordination mode of orotic acid has been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectra, X-ray diffraction. The orotate ligand exhibits new coordination mode of μ5-κO, O: κO′, O′: O″ for H2Or−.
