Poly[hexaaquabis([mu]3-naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylato)([mu]2-naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylato)diholmium(III)]

F. A. Almeida Paz and J. Klinowski

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ho2(C12H6O4)3(H2O)6]n, contains binuclear centrosymmetric {Ho2O2(CO2)4(H2O)6} cores interconnected via the naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate (NDC2-) bridging ligands into a two-dimensional neutral plane net, [infinity]2[Ho2(NDC)3(H2O)6], exhibiting a typical (4,4)-topology. Interactions between adjacent layers are assured by a series of C-H...[pi] contacts and a number of strong and highly directional O-H...O hydrogen bonds involving the coordinated water molecules and neighbouring coordinated carboxylate groups. One NDC2- bridging ligand has its centroid located at a crystallographic centre of inversion.
