The title samarium coordination polymer, [Sm(3)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(9)](n), was obtained by the hydro-thermal reaction of Sm(NO(3))(3) with 4-methyl-benzoic acid in alkaline aqueous solution. In the asymmetric unit, there are three crystallographically independent Sm(III) ions, two of which are eight-coordinate in a distorted square-anti-prismatic environment, while the third is nine-coordinate in a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic coordination. The metal centres are coordinated and bridged by f ...[more]
