Tetraaqua(nitrato-κ2O,O′)bis(pyridinium-4-carboxylate-κO)europium(III) dinitrate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Eu(NO3)(C6H5NO2)2(H2O)4](NO3)2, consists of one-half of the C2 symmetric coordination cation and one nitrate anion. The eight-coordinated EuIII atom is in a distorted dodecahedral coordination environment. The coordination cations and nitrate anions are connected via O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
