Catena-Poly[[bis(μ-anilinoacetato-κ2O:O′)bis(μ-anilinoacetato-κ3O,O′:O)bis[(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)samarium(III)]-μ-anilinoacetato-κ2O:O′

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Sm2(C8H8NO2)6(C12H8N2)2]n, the SmIII atoms are bridged by two terdentate, two bidentate and four mondentate carboxylate groups with an inversion centre between the two SmIII ions. Each Sm atom is nine-coordinated by two N atoms of 1,10-phenanthroline and seven O atoms of four anilinoacetate ligands. In the crystal structure, the chains are linked by hydrogen bonds into a polymeric ribbon structure.
