Poly[[tetraaquadi-μ3-oxalato-μ2-oxalato-diprasedymium(III)] dihydrate]
Abstract
In the title compound, {[Pr2(C2O4)3(H2O)4]·2H2O}n, the three-dimensional network structure has the PrIII ion coordinated by nine O atoms in a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. The coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules interact with the carboxylate O atoms to consolidate the network via O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
