In the coordination polymer, {[Pr(C6H5O7)(H2O)2]·H2O}n, seven of the nine coordination sites of the monocapped square-antiprismatic geometry are occupied by three O atoms of the same citrate trianion (an O atom of the hydroxy unit and the formally single-bond O atoms from two carboxyl units). Two other coordination sites are occupied by the O atoms of a chelating carboxyl unit of another citrate; one of these atoms is additionally involved in bridging. The seventh coordination site is occupied by the O atom of the formally double-bond O atom of a neighboring citrate. The remaining two coordination sites are occupied by water molecules. The citrate functions in a μ3-bridging mode, connecting the metal atoms into a ribbon structure parallel to [010]. The structure is consolidated into a three-dimensional network by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Praseodymium oxide, Pr6O11 (0.341 g), was suspended in water (20 ml) and to the suspension was added manganese dichloride tetrahydrate (0.395 g, 2.0 mmol) and citric acid monohydrate (0.841 g, 4.0 mmol). The mixture was placed in a 25 ml, teflon-lined, stainless-steel Parr bomb. The bomb was heated at 393 K for 72 h. It was cooled to room temperature at 30 K an hour. Green crystals were isolated in 75% yield based on Pr6O11.
Carbon-bound H atoms treated as riding (C–H 0.97 Å) and their temperature factors were tied by a factor of 1.2 times. The hydroxy and water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with distance restraints of O–H 0.84±0.01 Å and H···H 1.37±0.01 Å. Their temperature factors were tied by a factor of 1.5 times. The (5 6 3), (-6 6 1), (1 9 2), (4 10 2) and (6 7 3) reflections were omitted owing to bad disagreement.

A recent report describes the synthesis of Eu(H2O)2(C6H5O7).H2O, a citrate(3-) based coordination polymer that exhibits useful luminescence; the ribbon motif propagates along the a-axis and adjacent chains are linked by O–H···O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. The presence of manganese dichloride is crucial to the synthesis (Tang et al., 2011). The present Pr analog (Scheme I) is isostructural, the two compounds crystallizing with matching cell dimensions. In the coordination polymer, Pr(H2O)2(C6H5O7).H2O (Fig. 1), seven of the nine coordination sites a mono-capped square-antiprismatic geometry (Fig. 2) are occupied by three O atoms of the same citrate trianion (an O atom of the hydroxy unit and the formally single-bond O atoms from two carboxyl units). Two other coordination sites are occupied by the O atoms of a chelating carboxyl unit of another citrate; one of these atoms is additionally involved in bridging. The seventh coordination site is occupied by the O atom of the formally double-bond O atom of a neighboring citrate. The remaining two coordination sites of the are occupied by water molecules. The citrate functions in a µ3– bridging mode to connect the metal atoms into a ribbon structure. The structure is consolidated into a three-dimensional network by O–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
