Abstract: In the title complex, [Nd(C₁₀H₁₃N₂O₈)(H₂O)]_n, each Nd^III ion is coordinated by six O atoms and two N atoms from one N'-(carboxymethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N,N'-triacetate (edta) ligand and one water molecule, displaying a bicapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. The edta ligands link the neodymium metal centres, forming polymeric chains running along the a axis of the unit cell. These chains are further assembled via intermolecular O-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
