ABSTRACT: The title dimeric complex, [Eu(2)(C(7)H(5)O(2))(6)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], is centrosymmetric, implying that pairs of equivalent Eu(3+) ions and ligands lie trans to each other and that the two Eu(3+) ions have exactly the same coordination environment. Each Eu(3+) ion is nine-coordinated by two bidentate benzoate ligands, two bridging tridentate chelating benzoate ligands, and one dimethylformamide and one water molecule. The coordination polyhedron of each Eu(3+) ion can be described with a distorted monocapped square-anti-prismatic geometry. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds between the water mol-ecules and benzoate O atoms.
