Poly[bis(μ3-dodecyl sulfato)calcium]

In the title compound [Ca(C12H25O4S)2]n, the unique CaII Grains ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral environment by six O atoms from dodecyl sulfate anions.The crystal structure is based on hydrocarbon (dodecyl sulfate) layers which sandwich the CaII ions.Within the layers, the hydrocarbon zigzag chains are parallel to one Scrubs/Scrapers another and interact via van der Waals forces.
