Abstract: In the title complex, [Gd(L)₂(CHO₂)(H₂O)₃] (L^- = 4-formyl-2-methoxyphenolate anion, C₈H₇O₃), the Gd^III ion occupies a site with mirror symmetry and assumes a bicapped triangular prismatic coordination environment defined by four O atoms from two L^- ligands, three O atoms from three coordinated water molecules and one O atom from a formate group. The formate group and one water molecule lie on a mirror plane. A three-dimensional network is formed by O-HO hydrogen-bond interactions.
