Bis(triethanolamine)strontium(II) bis(2,4-dinitrophenolate)

In the title compound, bis(2,2', 2 "-nitrilotriethanol-N,O,O',O ") strontiu m(II) bis(2, 4-dinitrophenolate), [Sr(C6H15NO3)(2)](C6H3N2O5)(2), the coord ination number around the cation is eight, and it is effectively sandwiched by the: two tetradentate triethanolamine ligands, which coordinate through all three hydroxyl O atoms and the amine N atom. The Sr-O distances are in the range 2.574 (7)-2.586 (6) Angstrom, and the Sr-N distance is 2.777 (7) Angstrom. The two 2,4-dinitrophenolate anions are charge separated in the lattice. The shortest Sr ... O distance to the 2,4-dinitrophenolate anions is Sr ... O1 [4.268 (8) Angstrom].
