Abstract

In the title complex, [Nd(C(10)H(13)N(2)O(8))(H(2)O)](n), each Nd(III) ion is coordinated by six O atoms and two N atoms from one N'-(carboxymethyl)ethylene-diamine--N,N,N'-triacetate (edta) ligand and one water mol-ecule, displaying a bicapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. The edta ligands link the neodymium metal centres, forming polymeric chains running along the a axis of the unit cell. These chains are further assembled via inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.
