Abstract: The title compound, [La₂(C₄H₅O₂)₆(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·2H₂O, is a discrete centrosymmetric homodinuclear complex, which is structurally very similar to a previously studied analogue. The La^III atoms are bridged by two bidentate and two tridentate carboxylate groups, with an LaLa separation of 4.0807 (4) Å. Each La^III atom exhibits a distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination formed by seven O atoms of bridging methylacrylate groups and two N atoms of the bidentate chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands.
