In the title two-dimensional coordination polymer, [Yb2(C8H4O4)3(H2O)6]n, the unique YbIII ion is eight-coordinated in a distorted dodecahedral coordination geometry by three water O atoms and five O atoms from carboxylate groups belonging to four different terephthalate ligands. One of the terephthalate ligands is located around an inversion center. The coordination polymers are parallel to (121) and are connected by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional framework.

A mixture of AgNO3(0.057 g, 0.33 mmol), Yb2O3(0.116 g, 0.33 mmol), 2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid(0.165 g, 1.33 mmol), terephthalic acid (0.166 g, 1.0 mmol), H2O(7 ml), and HClO4(0.257 mmol)(pH 2) was sealed in a 20 ml Teflon-lined reaction vessel at 443 K for 6 days and then slowly cooled to room temperature. The product was collected by filtration, washed with water and air-dried. Colorless block crystals were suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained.
H atoms bonded to C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). H atoms of the water molecules were found from difference Fourier maps and refined with restraints imposed on the O-H and H···H distances [O—H = 0.82 (1) Å and H···H = 1.29 (1) Å] and displacement parameters set to 1.5Ueq(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. |

Terephthalic acid as a dicarboxylate ligand may exhibit various coordination modes with transition metals or lanthanide ions that result in one-, two- or three-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). As an extension of this research we report here the structure of the title two-dimensional coordination polymer of YbIII which is isostructural with LuIII and ErIII complexes (Daiguebonne et al., 2006; Xie et al., 2008) .
The asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig. 1) contains one YbIII ion, one and a half of terephthalate ligand, and three coordinated water molecules. The YbIII ion is eight-coordinate with a dodecahedral coordination polyhedron made of three oxygen atoms from three coordination water molecules and five oxygen atoms from carboxylate groups of four different terephthalate ligands.
The coordination polymers are joined by O—H···O hydrogen bonds between coordinated water molecules and carboxylate groups of terephthalate ligands (Table 1).
