Abstract

The three-dimensional coordination polymer, [Eu2(C6H2O4S)3(H2O)4]n, has been synthesized under hydro­thermal conditions. The asymmetric unit comprises one Eu3+ cation, two aqua ligands and one and a half thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate anions (the half-anion being completed by a twofold rotation axis). The Eu3+ cation is eight-coordinated in a distorted dodeca­hedral geometry. The crystal structure features O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
