The benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxyl-ate and acetate ligands connect the Pr(III) ions, forming a layer in the ac plane; the layers are further linked by N-H?O and O-H?O hydrogen bonding and ?-? stacking inter-actions between neighboring pyridine rings [the centroid-centroid distance is 3.467?(1)?Å], assembling a three-dimensional supra-molecular network. The acetate methyl group is disordered over two positions with site-occupancy factors of 0.75 and 0.25. | lld:pubmed |
