Catena-Poly[hexakis(μ2-anilinoacetamide)bis(1,10-phenanthroline)disamarium(III

Abstract

The mol­ecule of the title compound, [Sm2(C8H9N2O)6(C12H8N2)2]n, is a binuclear polymeric complex and has an inversion centre midway between the two SmIII ions, which are bridged by two tridentate, two bidentate and four mondentate (within the binuclear unit) acetamide groups. Each Sm atom is nine-coordinated by two N atoms of a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four O and three N atoms of anilinoacetamide ligands. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular C—H⋯O, C—H⋯N, N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds result in the formation of a supra­molecular network structure; an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond is also present.
