The organic anion of the title compound, {[Na(C15H9O10S)(H2O)2]·H2O}n {systematic name: poly[[diaqua[μ-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,5,7-trihydroxy-4-oxo-4H-chromene-8-sulfonato]sodium] monohydrate]}, has a nearly planar structure. The Na atom is six-coordinated by O atoms, two from water molecules and four from the anion. The dihedral angle between the ring systems in the anion is 10.1 (1)°. Intramolecular O—H...S and O—H...O interactions occur. In the crystal structure, an extensive network of classical intermolecular O—H...S and O—H...O hydrogen bonds forms layers along the c axis.
