title: Poly[[aquaneodymium(III)]-micro(3)-decane-1,10-dicarboxylato-micro(3)-9-carboxynonanecarboxylato].
abstract: The title compound, [Nd(C(10)H(16)O(4))(C(10)H(17)O(4))(H(2)O)](n), has a novel Nd-organic framework constructed from sebacic acid (C(10)H(18)O(4)) linkers, the longest aliphatic ligand used to date in lanthanide metal-organic framework compounds. The structure contains edge-shared chains of NdO(8)(H(2)O) tricapped trigonal prisms that propagate in the [100] direction, with Nd-O distances in the range 2.414 (4)-2.643 (4) A.
