The title complex, {[Pr4(C2H3O2)10(C2O4)(H2O)2]·2H2O}n, was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions from praseodymium acetate and the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride via an in situ oxalate-ligand synthesis. The compound is a two-dimensional polymer and in the structure presents tightly bound planes parallel to (100), which are in turn linked into a three-dimensional network by hydrogen bonds involving both coordinated and solvent water molecules. The oxalate anion lies across an inversion centre and acts as a bridge between pairs of Pr atoms within a tetranuclear segment of the polymer.

Compound (I) was synthesized from an aqueous solution of praseodymium acetate
(41 mg) and sodium acetate (13 mg) in a 1:1.5 ratio, in the presence of the
ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (3:1 water–IL ratio).
Crystals of (I) were grown in a 45 ml Teflon-lined autoclave under
hydrothermal conditions over a period of a few days at 400 K and after slow
cooling.
Water H atoms were refined with restrained distances [O—H = 0.85 (1) Å and
H···H = 1.36 (1) Å]. Methyl groups were idealized (C—H = 0.96 Å) and
allowed to ride. In all cases, H-atom displacement parameters were taken as
Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(host).

Special details top
Experimental. The IR vibrational spectrum of a sample of (I) dispersed in KBr pellets was
measured using a Fourier transform IR spectrometer NICOLET 8700. The IR
spectrum was recorded in the range 400–4000 cm-1; the Raman spectrum of
the crystalline compound was recorded in a Jobin Yvon Horiba labRAM HR. |
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.

Lanthanides are characterized by a high affinity for ligands with hard donor atoms such as O and/or N (Brunet et al.,2007). The compounds thus formed may possess unique photophysical and magnetic properties that make them suitable for applications in advanced materials (Steckl & Zavada, 1999; de Sa et al., 2000; Kido & Okamoto, 2002). The construction of extended structures containing praseodymium or other f-elements bridged by carboxylate groups is of interest because of the large variety of architectures that result from the high and variable coordination numbers of the lanthanides, as well as the versatility of carboxylate ligands.
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a group of ionic compounds having a broad temperature range at which they remain liquid combined with very low vapour pressures, and they have been proposed as potential replacements for conventional organic solvents. ILs are generally composed of one organic cation (such as imidazolium, pyridinium or pyrrolidinum) and an anion (such BF4-, PF6-, Cl- etc.); they have been shown to act both as solvents and as reactants which may be incorporated into the final reaction product (for instance, behaving as a charge neutralizer; Cocalia et al., 2006). The use of ILs in the in situ synthesis of ligands in coordination compounds has increased in the last few years, along with efforts to elucidate the mechanisms of the reactions involved (Reichert et al., 2006).
Reported herein is the title new polymeric compound, (I), obtained under hydrothermal conditions via praseodymium acetate and the IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [bmim][Cl]. Fig. 1 shows a molecular view of (I), where each ligand is identified by a unique trailing number: acetates 1-5; oxalate 6.
The tetranuclear complex lies acoss an inversion centre located at the centre of the bridging oxalate ligand, so that the asymmetric unit is composed of two PrIII cations, one water ligand, five acetate anions and half of an oxalate unit; a solvent water molecule completes the asymmetric unit. The two PrIII cations (Pr1 and Pr2) receive bonds from all five acetate anions, while the oxalate anion coordinates only to Pr1 and the water ligand coordinates only to Pr2. As a result, the metal cations present different PrO9 (Pr1) and PrO10 (Pr2) environments (Table 1), with Pr—O distances in the range 2.417 (3)–2.698 (3) Å for Pr1 and 2.388 (3)–2.786 (3) Å for Pr2, and bond valence sums of 3.33 and 3.22, respectively. The five acetate ligands, in turn, bind in three different bridging ways: as µ2-κ2O,O' (simple bridge, acetate 2), as µ2-κ2O:O',O' (simple bridge–simple chelate, acetates 3 and 5) and as µ3-κ2O,O:O',O') (double bridge–simple chelate, acetates 1 and 4). The oxalate anion, as usual, binds in a µ2-κ4O:O',O'':O'''(simple bridge–double chelate) mode.
This intricate bonding scheme results in a tight two-dimensional mesh of interlinked PrIII coordination polyhedra, with the metals joined by a variety of `short' (Pr—O—Pr) and `long' (Pr—O—C—O—Pr) bridges to give Pr···.Pr distances of 4.0618 (3) (Pr1···Pr2, three short bridges), 4.2224 (3) (Pr1···Pr2i, two short bridges), 6.4045 (3) (Pr1···Pr1ii, two long oxalate bridges) and 4.4995 (3) Å (Pr2···Pr2iii, two short bridges) [symmetry codes: (i) -x + 1, y - 1/2, -z + 3/2; (ii) -x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 2; (iii) -x + 1, -y + 2, -z + 2].
Fig. 2(a) shows a view of one such mesh, parallel to (100). It can be seen that the cations, water ligands and acetate anions generate an infinite layer (represented by light lines) with large centrosymmetric `holes' in it, where the oxalate anions (heavy lines) lie, linking symmetry-related Pr1 centres together. These strongly connected planar structures are further stabilized by a strong `intra-planar' hydrogen bond (Table 2, first entry), while being linked to each other via the other three `interplanar' hydrogen bonds (Table 2, entries 2–4). Figs. 2(a) and 2(b) depict these hydrogen bonds in full detail, while Fig. 2(c) sketches the way in which they operate in the interplanar linkage, through a rather simple chain made out of `conjugated' hydrogen-bonded rings (A and B) threading through a line of inversion centres across the planes. The rings, characterized by graph-set descriptors (Bernstein et al., 1995) R46(12) (ring A) and R22(8) (ring B), are formed by just four non-H atoms (O1W, O2W, Pr2 and O25; Fig. 2c).
Fig. 3 shows the IR and Raman spectra of (I), in the range 500–3000 cm-1, in which the oxalate and acetate bands can be observed. The peaks are assigned according to previously reported data (Frost, 2004; Ito & Bernstein, 1956). The range 1500–1400 cm-1 in the Raman spectrum shows the bands associated with double bonds, i.e. C═O stretching of both acetate and oxalate. The antisymmetric C═O stretching extends to 1700 cm-1 in the IR spectrum. The bands between 1100 and 500 cm-1 correspond to C—C stretching. The acetate can be distinguished from the oxalate group in the range 3100–2900 cm-1, in which only the CH stretching vibrations of the acetate are seen.
As a final remark, it should be stated that the reaction responsible for the presence of the oxalate bridge in the final product is not yet fully understood. This situation is by no means unique; in situ oxalate-anion formation under hydrothermal conditions has already been reported, and has been related to the rearrangement or cleavage of organic compounds (Knope & Cahill, 2007; Zhang et al., 2006). However, the mechanisms that lead to oxalate-bridge formation remain to be understood.
