Abstract
The structure of the title compound, tetraaquatris(nitrato-κ2O,O′)praseodymium(III) dihydrate, was redetermined. The structure models derived from the previous determinations [Rumanova et al. (1964 ▶). Kristallografiya, 9, 642–654; Fuller & Jacobson (1976 ▶). Cryst. Struct. Commun.5, 349–352] were confirmed, but now with all H atoms unambiguously located, revealing a complex O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding network, extending throughout the whole structure. In the title compound, the coordination environment of the PrIII atom can best be described as a distorted bicapped square antiprism defined by three bidentate nitrate anions and four water molecules. Additionally, two lattice water molecules are observed in the crystal packing. The title compound is isotypic with several other lanthanide-containing nitrate analogues.
