catena-Poly[[tetra-μ-anilinoacetato-bis-(1,10-phenanthroline)dieuropium(III)]-di-μ-anilinoacetato].

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Eu2(C8H8NO2)6(C12H8N)2]n, the EuIII atoms are bridged by two tridentate, two bidentate and four mondentate carboxylate groups with an inversion centre between the two EuIII ions of this dinuclear structural unit. Each Eu atom is nine-coordinated by two 1,10-phenanthroline N atoms and seven O atoms of four anilinoacetate ligands. In the crystal structure, the chains are linked by C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a polymeric ribbon structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
