Abstract: In the title complex, [Ce₂(C₁₀H₁₀NO₃)₆(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·2H₂O, each Ce atom shows a distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination, comprising two N-atom donors from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and seven O atoms of the N-acetyl-N-phenylglycine (L2) molecules. Two Ce atoms are bridged by two terdentate and two bidentate carboxylate groups of L2, to give a centrosymmetric dimer. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds.
