The title compound, Nd2(Se2O5)3.H2SeO3.2H2O, is a new rare earth hydrogen selenite. Its crystal structure is built up of polar layers parallel to the ab plane. Each layer is formed by edge-sharing NdO9 polyhedra and bridging diselenite groups. Selenious acid and water molecules occur on only one side of the layer. The other side contains flanking diselenite groups only. A complex network of hydrogen bonds holds the layers together. The configuration of Se2O5 is defined and compared with the diselenite moieties of related compounds.
