Abstract

In the title centrosymmetric dinuclear complex, [Eu(2)(CH(3)CO(2))(6)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Eu(III) atom is nine-coordinated by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and seven O atoms from five acetate ligands (two bidentate, three monodentate). The crystal structure is stabilized by π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyridine and benzene rings of adjacent mol-ecules, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.829 (2) Å.
