Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Tb(C6H4NO2)(C2O4)(H2O)2]n, the TbIII cation is coordinated by four O atoms from two oxalate ligands, two O atoms from two isonicotinate ligands and two O atoms from water molecules within a distorted square-antiprismatic coordination. The TbIII cation, the isonicotinate anion and the two crystallographically independent water molecules occupy general positions, whereas one of the two crystallographically independent oxalate anions is located on a center of inversion, and the second oxalate anion is located on a twofold rotation axis. The TbIII cations are linked by the oxalate and isonicotinate anions into layers, which are connected via intermolecular hydrogen-bonding and [pi]-[pi] stacking [with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.509 (2) and 3.343 (3) Å] interactions into a three-dimensional network.
