Abstract

In the title centrosymmetric dinuclear Eu(III) complex, [Eu(2)(CH(3)COO)(6)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], each Eu(III) cation is coordinated by seven O atoms from five acetate anions and two N atoms from one phenanthroline ligand in a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. Four acetate anions bridge two Eu(III) cations to form the dinuclear complex, with an Eu⋯Eu distance of 3.9409 (8) Å. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
