title: catena-Poly[[tris-(acetonitrile-κN)praseodymium(III)]tris-(μ-trifluoro-methane-sulfonato-κ(2) O:O')].
abstract: In the colourless title compound, [Pr(CF3O3S)3(CH3CN)3] n , the three trifluoro-methane-sulfonate anions form three bridges via O:O'-coordination between two Pr(III) atoms. The structure contains [Pr(NCMe)3-μ2(OTf)3-Pr(NCMe)3-μ2(OTf)3] n (NCMe is acetonitrile; OTf is trifluoromethanesulfonate) chains parallel to the a axis. The Pr(III) atom is nine-coordinate in a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic environment.
