Di--acetato-bis[triaquabis(thiocyanato-N)(4-methylpyridine N-oxide-O)samarium(III)]

S.-G. Zhang and J.-M. Shi

Abstract: In the title binuclear complex, [Sm₂(-C₂H₃O₂)₂(NCS)₄(C₆H₇NO)₂(H₂O)₆], which possesses a crystallographically imposed centre of symmetry, four thiocyanate, two 4-methylpyridine N-oxide and six water molecules function as terminal ligands, whereas two acetate anions bridge the two Sm^III ions. The crystal packing exhibits an extensive three-dimensional network of intermolecular O-HS and O-HO hydrogen bonds.
