Abstract
The structure of the title compound, (pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid)triaquastrontium(II) tris(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)cerium(IV) hexahydrate, [Sr(C7H5NO4)(H2O)3][Ce(C7H3NO4)3]·6H2O or [Sr(dipicH2)(OH2)3][Ce(dipic)3]·6H2O, consists of a one-dimensional chain of alternate tricapped trigonal prismatic and square antiprismatic polyhedra made up of [Ce(dipic)3]2− and [Sr(dipicH2)(OH2)3]2+ ions, respectively, linked by the carboxylate groups.
