Abstract: The title compound, [Nd₂(C₉H₇O₃)₆], crystallizes from an anhydrous alcoholic mixture of neodymium perchlorate, 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol and sodium hydroxide. The structure consists of discrete dinuclear molecules with Nd^III ions in eightfold coordination environments. The complete molecule is generated from the asymmetric unit by a crystallographic center of symmetry. Intramolecular and intermolecular - stacking and C-HO interactions help to stabilize the crystal packing.
