In the title complex, [Nd(C10H13N2O8)(H2O)]n, each NdIII 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 These chains are further assembled via intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.

A mixture of Nd2O3 (0.168 g; 0.5 mmol), ethylene-diamine tetraacetic acid (0.292 g; 1 mmol), water (10 ml) in the presence of HNO3 (0.1 mmol) was stirred vigorously for 20 min and then sealed in a Teflon-lined stainless-steel autoclave (15 ml, capacity). The autoclave was heated to and maintained at 433 K for 3 days, and then cooled to room temperature at 5 K h-1 to obtain the colorless block crystals.
Water H atoms were tentatively located in difference Fourier maps and were refined with distance restraints of O–H = 0.84 Å and H···H = 1.35 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O), and then were treated in riding mode. Carbon-bound H and the carboxylate H4 atoms were placed at calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent atoms with C—H = 0.97 Å, O4-H4: 0.82 and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(parent).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Molecular self-assembly of supramolecular architectures has received much attention during recent decades (Zeng et al., 2007; Moulton & Zaworotko, 2001). The structures and properties of such systems depend on the coordination and geometric preferences of both the central metal ions and the bridging building blocks, as well as the influence of weaker non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions. Recently, we obtained the title coordination polymer, which was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions.
As illustrated in Fig. 1, each NdIII centre is in a bicapped trigonal prismatic geometry, defined by six oxygen and two nitrogen atoms from one ethylene-diamine tetraacetate(edta) ligand and one water molecule. The NdIII ions are linked by edta ligands to form an infinite polymeric chain in the a axis direction(Fig.2), and the adjacent Nd···Nd separations are 4.253 (4) and 6.642 (5) Å, respectively. O—H···O hydrogen bonding (Table 1), involving carboxylate groups of edta ligands and the coordinating water molecules, assemble neighbouring chains to form a three-dimensional supramolecular network motif.
