The title compound, {[Nd2(C2O4)3(H2O)4]·2H2O}n, was synthesized hydrothermally in the presence of bis(carboxyethylgermanium) sesquioxide. It is isostructural with the corresponding Pr compound [Yang et al. (2009). Acta Cryst. E65, m1152–m1153]. The Nd3+ cation is nine-coordinated and its can be described as a distorted tricapped trigonal prism. Two Nd3+ ions are connected by two O atoms from two oxalate ions to give a dinuclear Nd2 unit. The unit is further linked to four others via four oxalate ions yielding a layerparallel to (0-11). The linkages between the layers by neighbouring oxalate anions lead to a three-dimensional framework with channels along the c axis. The coordinating and free water molecules are located in the channels and make contact with each other and the host framework by weak O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

A mixture of H2E2Ge2O3 (bis(carboxyethylgermanium) sesquioxide) (0.085 g), Nd2O3 (0.090 g), H2C2O4 (0.090 g) and H2O (10 ml) was stirred for about 30 min, then sealed in a 25 ml Teflonlined bomb at 170°C for 7 days, cooled to room temperature. Pink prismatic crystals of the title compound were obtained by filtration (yield about 55% based on H2C2O4), washed with distilled water, and dried in air. The H2E2Ge2O3 ligand plays a key role in the formation of the title compound although it is not present in the final product. If H2E2Ge2O3 ligand was not added, we obtained a different neodymium oxalate reported reviously (Trombe & Jaud, 2003). Elemental analysis calcd (%) for C6H12Nd2O18: C, 10.91; H, 1.83; Found: C, 10.87; H, 1.88.
All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. The water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with a distance restraint of O—H = 0.85 Å, and H–H=1.32Å within the water molecules and with Uiso(H) = 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. |

The current interest in designing and making lanthanide compounds has been excitated not only by their impressive structural but also by their application in optoelectronic field (Kido & Okamoto, 2002). In our work on the preparation of lanthanide-organogermanate compounds, an unexpected lanthanide oxalate {[Nd(C2O4)1.5(H2O)2].H2O}n, was obtained. Although the synthesis methods are different, it is isostructural with the corresponding Pr compound (Yang et al., 2009).
Crystal structure determination by X-ray diffraction was performed on a SCXmini-CCD diffractometer equipped with a graphite-monochromatic MoKα (λ = 0.71073 Å) radiation using an ω scan mode at 273 K. The crystallographic analysis reveals that the asymmetric unit of this compound contains one independent Nd atom, six O atoms, three C atoms and three water molecules. The Nd3+ cation is nine-coordinated and is described as distorted tricapped trigonal prism: six O atoms from three C2O42- ligands, one O atom from one C2O42- and two water molecules. Two Nd3+ ions are connected by two O atoms from two oxalates to give a dinuclear Nd2 unit. The unit is further connected four others via four oxalates to form a layer. The linkages between the layers by oxalates lead to a three-dimensional framework with channels along a axis, as shown in Fig.2. The coordinated and free water molecules is located in the channels and contact with each other and host framework by O—H···O hydrogne bonds (Fig.3.).
