title: [μ-2-(4-Hy-droxy-phen-yl)acetato]-κO:O,O';κO,O':O'-bis-{aqua-(4,4'-bi-pyridine-κN)bis-[2-(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)acetato-κO,O']holmium(III)} mono-hydrate.
abstract: In the title dinuclear complex, [Ho(2)(C(8)H(7)O(3))(6)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O, each of the two independent Ho(III) ions is coordinated by eight O atoms from four 4-hy-droxy-phenyl-acetate (HPAA) ligands and a water mol-ecule, and one N atom from a 4,4'-bipyridine (bipy) ligand in a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. The HPAA ligands are coordinated in bis-chelate, bridging and bridging tridentate modes. In the crystal, O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.
