It has now been reinvestigated and confirmed from single-crystal data, giving greater understanding of the role of the water molecules. The two-dimensional layers found in the compound are built up from six-coordinate NaO_6 polyhedra and nine-coordinate SmN_2O_7 polyhedra. The former share edges with each other along the c axis and the latter are bridged by carboxylate groups of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate anions along the b axis. Eight-membered rings of water molecules, connected to one another by hydrogen bonding, are formed in the interlayer spaces.}, pages = {m2203--m2204}, title = {Reinvestigation of layered poly[aquasodium(I) [[aquasamarium(III)]-di-μ-aqua-μ3-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato-μ2-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato] trihydrate]}, volume = {63}, year = {2007} }
