title: Poly[diaqua-tris-(μ(4)-1,3-phenyl-enediacetato)-dineodymium(III)].
abstract: In the title coordination polymer, [Nd(2)(C(10)H(8)O(4))(3)(H(2)O)(2)](n), each of the two Nd(III) ions is nine-coordinated by eight O atoms from six different 2,2'-(m-phenyl-ene)diacetate (pda) bivalent anions and by one O atom from a water mol-ecule, forming a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic coordination geometry. Eight Nd(III) ions and 12 pda ligands form a large [Nd(8)(pda)(12)] ring, and four Nd(III) ions and six pda ligands form a small [Nd(4)(pda)(6)] ring. These rings are further connected by the coordination inter-actions of pda ligands and Nd(III), generating a three-dimensional supra-molecular framework.
