Supporting information
A mixture of La2O3 (0.162 g, 0.5 mmol), AgNO3 (0.169 g, 1 mmol), nicotinic acid (0.123 g, 1 mmol), HClO4 (0.12 ml) and H2O (10 ml) was placed in a 23 ml Teflon-lined reactor, which was heated to 433 K for 3 d, and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10 K h-1. The pale-purple crystals obtained were washed with water and dried in air (yield 46% based on La).
H atoms on C atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding on the parent C atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms of water molecules were located in difference Fourier maps and refined as riding atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The perchlorate anion is disordered with an occupancy factor of 0.5. The hightest peak in final difference map is located 1.00 Å from La1 and the deepest hole is located 0.94 Å from La1.

In the structural investigation of nictinate complexes, it has been found that nictinate functions as a multidentate ligand with versatile binding and coordination modes (Evans & Lin, 2001; Luo et al., 2004). In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, a new LaIII complex, resulted from the hydrothermal treatment of La2O3, AgNO3, perchloric acid and nicotinic acid in water.
As depicted in Fig. 1, the LaIII atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is surrounded by four O atoms from four nic ligands and four water molecules in a distorted square-antiprismatic coordination geometry. The AgI atom is coordinated in an almost linear fashion by two pyridyl N atoms of two nic ligands. The linear coordination is augmented by weak interactions with one O atom from a half-occupied ClO4- anion and a water molecule lying on a twofold rotation axis. The two pyridyl rings of the nic ligands coordinating to the Ag atom are alomost coplanar and have a dihedral angle of 1.74 (2)°. Two Ag(nic)2 units connect two La atoms, forming a cyclic unit. These cycles are further extended into an infinite zigzag chain. The chains are bridged by disordered perchlorate ions via the weak Ag—O [2.678 (2) Å] interactions into a two-dimensional wavelike layer in the b axis direction (Fig. 2). Finally, the layers are further self-assembled into a three-dimensional supramolecular network (Fig. 3) via O—H···O hydrogen bonds involving the coordinated water molecules and carboxylate O atoms from the nic ligands (Table 1), weak Ag···Ag [3.3340 (15) Å] interactions and π–π stacking interactions between the pyridyl rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.656 (2) Å].
