In the title coordination polymer, catena-poly[[[triaquaeuropium(III)]-bis(μ-1H,3H-benzimidazol-3-ium-5,6-dicarboxylato-κ3O5,O5′:O6)-[triaquaeuropium(III)]-di-μ-sulfato-κ3O:O,O′;κ3O,O′:O′] hexahydrate], [Eu2(C9H5N2O4)2(SO4)2(H2O)6]·6H2O}n, the 1H,3H-benzimidazol-3-ium-5,6-dicarboxylate ligand is protonated at the imidazole group (H2bdc). The EuIII ion is coordinated by nine O atoms from two H2bdc ligands, two sulfate anions and three water molecules, displaying a bicapped trigonal prismatic geometry. The carboxylate groups of the H2bdc ligands and the sulfate anions link the EuIII ions, forming a chain along [010]. These chains are further connected by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions between the imidazole and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.997 (4), 3.829 (4) and 3.573 (4) Å] into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.

Supporting information
A mixture of Eu2O3 (0.352 g, 1 mmol), H3bdc (0.206 g, 1 mmol), water (10 ml) in the presence of H2SO4 (0.038 g, 0.385 mmol) was stirred vigorously for 30 min and then sealed in a 20 ml Teflon-lined stainless-steel autoclave. The autoclave was heated and maintained at 443 K for 3 days, and then cooled to room temperature at 5 K h-1. Colorless block crystals of the title compound were obtained.
Water H atoms were tentatively located in difference Fourier maps and were refined with distance restraints of O—H = 0.84 and H···H = 1.35 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). H atoms bound to C and N atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 and N—H = 0.86 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N). H1A atom attached to N1 was refined with Uiso(H) = 0.035 Å2. The highest residual electron density was found at 1.00 Å from Eu1 atom and the deepest hole at 0.97 Å from Eu1 atom.

In recent years, research on coordination polymers has made considerable progress in the fields of supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering, because of their intriguing structural motifs and functional properties, such as molecular adsorption, magnetism and luminescence. Ligands play a key role in the construction of coordination polymers with fascinating topology, intriguing architectures and useful physical-chemical properties. Benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid (H3bdc) is a potential bifunctional ligand with carboxylate and N-donor functional groups and has been used to prepare such metal-organic complexes in possession of multidimensional networks and interesting properties (Wang et al., 2010; Wei et al., 2008; Xie et al., 2010; Yao et al., 2008). Recently, we obtained the title coordination polymer, which was synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of Eu2O3 with H3bdc in an aqueous solution.
The title compound has a polymeric chain architecture. As shown in Fig. 1, the EuIII ion is in a bicapped trigonal-prismatic geometry, defined by nine O atoms from two 1H,3H-benzimidazol-3-ium-5,6-dicarboxylate ligands (H2bdc), which are protonated at the imidazole groups, two sulfate anions and three water molecules. The H2bdc ligands and sulfate anions link the EuIII ions into a chain along [0 1 0] (Fig. 2). The adjacent Eu···Eu separations are 4.272 (4) and 6.663 (5) Å. The Eu—O bond lengths range from 2.376 (4) to 2.610 (4) Å and O—Eu—O bond angles vary from 52.01 (1) to 143.68 (1) °. The chains are further connected by N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and π–π interactions between the imidazole and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.997 (4), 3.829 (4) and 3.573 (4) Å] into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
