Potassium 2-iodo­benzene­sulfonate monohydrate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, K(+)·C(6)H(4)IO(3)S(-)·H(2)O, the potasium cation is 2.693 (3)-2.933 (3) Å from the sulfonate and water O atoms (including symmetry-related atoms) and forms a two-dimensional sheet-like structure in the bc plane, with the iodo-benzene rings protruding above and below. The water mol-ecule of crystallization is hydrogen-bonded to sulfonate O atoms within this two-dimensional arrangement. Symmetry-related iodo-benzene rings are arranged perpendicular to one another with the I atom ca 4.1 Å from the centroid of the neighbouring benzene ring. In the crystal structure, these two-dimensional sheet-like supramolecular structures are arranged parallel to one another, stacked along the a-axis direction, with the benzene rings inter-digitated.
