Abstract

In the polymeric title complex, {[Ce(C8H7O3)3(H2O)2]·2C10H8N2·H2O}n, the CeIII ion is coordinated by ten O atoms from four 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetate (HPAA) ligands and two water molecules. One HPAA ligand coordinates just to one CeIII ion, whereas the remaining two bridge two CeIII ions. The 4,4′-bipyridine molecule and one water molecule are not coordinated to Ce. In the crystal, O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds link molecules into a three-dimensional network.
