Abstract: In the title compound, [Sm(C₈H₆NO₂)₃]_n, the Sm^III atom has an irregular polyhedral geometry. It is eight-coordinated by one bidentate and two tridentate 3-(3-pyridyl)acrylate acid (3-HPYA) ligands bridging the two symmetry-related Sm^III centres, which results in the formation of a one-dimensional zigzag chain.
