In the title coordination polymer, [Sm(C10H13N2O8)(H2O)]n, each samarium(III) centre is nine-coordinated by six O and two N atoms from three N′-(carboxymethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N,N′-triacetate ligands and one O atom of a water molecule, forming polymeric chains running parallel to the a axis. The packing is governed by intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions.

A mixture of Sm2O3 (0.5 mmol), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (H4edta) (0.5 mmol), HClO4 (0.2 mmol) and H2O (10 ml) was placed in a 23 ml Teflon reactor, which was heated to 433 K for three days and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10 K h-1. The crystals obtained were washed with water and dryed in air.
Water H atoms were tentatively located in difference Fourier maps and were refined with distance restraints of O—H = 0.82 Å and H···H = 1.20 Å, each within a standard deviation of 0.01 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.97 Å and O—H = 0.82 Å) and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, O).

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. |

Research on metal–organic frameworks has been expanding rapidly, due to their interesting structural motifs (Dakanali et al., 2003) and other potential applications (Kitaura et al., 2002; Rowsell et al., 2004) in molecular-based materials. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (H4edta) is a good example of a bridging ligand that can link metal centres into extended networks. Herein, we report a new samarium complex obtained by the hydrothermal treatment of Sm2O3 and H4edta in the presence of HClO4.
The samarium(III) metal centre is nine-coordinated by six oxygen and two nitrogen atoms from three different N'-(carboxymethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N,N'-triacetato ligands and one water molecule (Fig. 1) to form a polymeric chain running parallel to the crystallographic a axis (Fig. 2). The Sm···Sm separations between adjacent metal centres are 4.2461 (6) and 6.6506 (8) Å. The polymeric chains self-assemble via intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonding interactions (Table 1) to form a three-dimensional supramolecular network. The title compound is isostructural with the corresponding neodymium polymeric complex (Huang et al., 2008).
