In the title compound, [Ce(C9H4N2O4)(C2H3O2)(H2O)]n, the CeIII ion is coordinated by five O atoms and one N atom from four 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylato (L) ligands and by two O atoms from an acetate ligand and one aqua ligand, forming a slightly distorted tricapped trigonal–prismatic geometry. The L ligands are bridging, forming a layered polymer parallel to (010). In the crystal, O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the polymer layers into a three-dimensional network.

A mixture of Ce2O3 (0.4 mmol), H2L (0.4 mmol), acetic acid (0.4 mmol) and water (13 ml) was added in a 25 ml teflon-lined stainless container, which was heated at 453 K for 3 days. After cooling to room temperature, colorless crystals were recovered by filtration.
H atoms bonded to N and O atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and refined with isotropic displacement parameters. H atoms bonded to C atoms were placed in calculated positions and included in the

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 number of independent reflections and the number of reflections used in the refinement are not the same,because we used 'omit -3 50' to enhance the '_diffrn_measured_fraction_theta_full'. |

1H-Benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid (H2L) acts as a multidentate ligand forming coordination polymers (Gao et al., 2008; Yao et al., 2008; Song, Wang, Hu et al., 2009; Song, Wang, Li et al., 2009). Herein, we report the Ce(III) complex of H2L. The asymmetric unit of the title compound with additional symmetry related atoms is shown in Fig. 1. The CeIII ion is coordinated by five O atoms and one N atom originating from four 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylate (L) ligands along with two O atoms from an acetate ligand and one aqua ligand forming a slightly distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. The L ligands act as bridging forming a layered polymer parallel to (010) (Fig. 2). In the crystal, intermolecular O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds connect the polymer layers into a three-dimensional network.
