In the title complex, [Pr(C6H4NO3)(C2O4)(H2O)2]n, each PrIII ion is coordinated by eight O atoms from two 2-oxynicotinate ligands, two oxalate ligands and two water molecules, displaying a distorted bicapped square-antiprismatic geometry. The carboxylate groups link adjacent praseodymium metal centres, forming layers parallel to the bc plane. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

A mixture of Pr2O3 (0.330 g; 1.0 mmol), 2-oxynicotinic acid (0.127 g; 1 mmol), oxalic acid(0.09 g; 1 mmol), water (10 ml) in the presence of HNO3 (0.024 g; 0.385 mmol) was stirred vigorously for 20 min and then sealed in a Teflon-lined stainless-steel autoclave (20 ml, capacity). The autoclave was heated and maintained at 443 K for 3 days. After cooling to room temperature at 5 K h-1, colourless block crystals of the title compound were obtained.
Water H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and were refined with distance restraints of O–H = 0.84 Å, H···H = 1.35 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O). The separation between symmetry related H4W atoms at (x, y, z) and (1 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z) was restrained to be 2.2 Å. Carbon-bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent C atoms with C—H = 0.93 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). The H atom bound to the N1 nitrogen atom was refined with a distance restraints of N–H = 0.86 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(N).

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; Mou et al., 2008). 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, in the structure of the title compound each PrIII centre is in a distorted bicapped square antiprismatic geometry, defined by eight oxygen atoms from two 2-oxynicotinate ligands, two oxalate ligands, and two water molecules The PrIII ions are linked by 2-oxynicotinate ligands and oxalate ligands to form layers parallel to the bc plane (Fig. 2), with separations between adjacent PrIII metal centres of 4.410 (4), 6.505 (5) and 6.551 (3) Å. Intermolecular O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonding interactions (Table 1) involving the 2-oxynicotinate ligands, the oxalate ligands and the water molecules assemble neighboring layers to form a three-dimensional supramolecular network motif.
