title: Tetra-aqua-hexa-kis(μ(2)-quinoline-4-carboxyl-ato)diyttrium(III) dihydrate.
abstract: In the title centrosymmetric binuclear complex, [Y(2)(C(10)H(6)NO(2))(6)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, each Y(III) atom is nine-coordin-ated by nine O atoms from five ligands and two water mol-ecules in a slightly distorted monocapped square-anti-prismatic coordination environment. The Y(III) atoms are separated by a distance of 4.0363 (9) Å. The ligands coordinate in three different modes: chelating, bridging and a mixed chelating bridging mode. In the crystal structure, the binuclear complexes are linked by O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
