Crystal structure of poly[μ-acetato-bis­[μ-2-oxo-2-(quinolin-8-yl)ethano­ato]tris­odium]

The title compound [Na(3)(C(11)H(6)NO(3))(2)(C(2)H(3)O(2))](n), crystallized through diffusion of diethyl ether into methanol as needles. There are three crystallographically independent Na(+) cations present, each exhib­it­ing a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry, two through coordination by five O atoms and one N atom, and one through coordination by six O atoms. A series of inter­molecular O⋯Na and N⋯Na contacts leads to the formation of chains along the a-axis direction.
