Abstract

The title compound, Na+·C5H9N2O7P 2-·4H2O, is an isomer of zoledronate, a potent bone antiresorptive bisphosphonate drug having significant activity against several parasitic protozoa. The crystal structure of isozoledronate consists of bisphosphonate dimers coordinated by two Na+ ions. The dimers are held together through an extensive hydrogen-bonding network. The crystals exhibit non-merohedral twinning that roughly superimposes the a and b axes, and inverts the c axis.
