Abstract

A europium(III) coordination compound based on thio-phene-acrylic acid (Htpa), tri-aqua-tris-[3-(thio-phen-2-yl)prop-2-enoato-κ2 O,O']europium(III)-3-(thio-phen-2-yl)prop-2-enoic acid (1/3), [Eu(C7H5O2S)3(H2O)3]·3C7H6O2S or [Eu(tpa)3(H2O)3]·3(Htpa) (1), where tpa is the conjugate base of Htpa, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Compound 1 crystallizes in the trigonal space group R3. The structure of 1 consists of a discrete mol-ecular complex [Eu(tpa)3(H2O)3] species and the Htpa mol-ecule. In the crystal, the two components are involved in O-H⋯O [ring motif R 2 2(8)] and C-H⋯π hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. These inter-actions were further investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis, which showed high contributions of H⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H and H⋯O/O⋯H contacts to the total Hirshfeld surfaces.
