title: Poly[[diaqua-tris[μ(4)-(p-phenyl-enedi-oxy)diacetato]didysprosium(III)] dihydrate].
abstract: The title dysprosium coordination polymer, {[Dy(2)(C(10)H(8)O(6))(3)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O}(n), was synthesized by reacting dysprosium(III) nitrate and the flexible ligand (p-phenyl-enedi-oxy)diacetic acid under hydro-thermal conditions. Each Dy(III) ion is coordinated by nine O atoms in a tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry. The DyO(9) polyhedra form layers parallel to the bc plane. The rigid benzene rings of the anions link the layers along the a axis, forming a three-dimensional framework.
