Abstract:
In the title coordination polymer, {[Dy(C(10)H(13)N(2)O(8))]·3H(2)O}(n), the dysprosium(III) ion is coordinated by two N atoms and six O atoms from three different (carb-oxy-meth-yl)ethyl-ene-diamine-triacetate ligands in a distorted square-anti-prismatic geometry. The ligands connect the metal atoms, forming layers parallel to the ab plane. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds further assemble adjacent layers into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.
