Diaquabis(l-lactato)magnesium
In the title compound, [Mg(C3H4O3)2(H2O)2], the Mg2+ cation is six-coordinated by four O atoms from two lactate anions and two aqua ligands, completing an MgO6 distorted octahedral geometry. The complex molecules are bridged by O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions into helical chains...

| Summary: | In the title compound, [Mg(C3H4O3)2(H2O)2], the Mg2+ cation is six-coordinated by four O atoms from two lactate anions and two aqua ligands, completing an MgO6 distorted octahedral geometry. The complex molecules are bridged by O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions into helical chains parallel to the a axis, which are linked by further O—H...O interactions, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. |
