Aquatris(2,6-difluorobenzoato)praseodymium(III)

The title compound, catena-poly[aquapraseodymium(III)-tris­(μ-2,6-difluorobenzoato)-O:O'; O, O':O; O,O':O], Pr(C₇H₃F₂O₂)₃(H₂O)], is a single-strand polymer. The Pr atoms are ninefold coordinated by three bridging 2,6-difluorobenzoate ligands and one water molecule. The 2,6-difluorobenzoate ligands bind in two unique modes, with one ligand forming a common μ-O:O' bridge, and the other two forming less common μ-O,O':O bridges. One of the F atoms of a benzoate ligand forms a three-center hydrogen bond.
