Abstract
The coordination polymer [Nd(C4H2O4)(C4H3O4)H2O] n (C4H4O4 = Fumaric acid) has been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffration methods. The Nd(III) center is a distorted tricapped trigonal prism coordinated by nine oxygen atoms, seven from six fumarate dianions ( ), one from fumarate anion ( ) and one a water molecule. Nd(III) ions are connected into a framework structure by the oxygen atoms of the carboxyl groups.
