Abstract: The Ce atom in the title compound, Na₄[Ce₂(C₂O₄)₅]·2H₂O, is chelated by five oxalate groups in a bicapped square-antiprismatic geometry; one oxalate ligand is located on a centre of inversion. All oxalate groups function in a ₂-bridging mode, resulting in a three-dimensional network architecture.
