Organically pillared layer framework of [Eu(NH2–BDC)(ox)(H3O)]

The non-porous three-dimensional structure of poly[(μ5-2-amino­benzene-1,4-di­carboxyl­ato)(μ6-oxalato)(oxomium)europium(III)], [Eu(C8H5NO4)(C2O4)(H3O)]n or [EuIII(NH2–BDC)(ox)(H3O)]n (NH2–BDC2− = 2-amino­terephthalate and ox2− = oxalate) is constructed from two-dimensional layers of EuIII–carboxyl­ate–oxalate, which are connected by NH2–BDC2− pillars. The basic structural unit of the layer is an edge-sharing dimer of TPRS-{EuIIIO9}, which is assembled through the ox2− moiety. The intra­layer void is partially occupied by TPR-{EuIIIO6} motifs. Weak C—H⋯O and strong, classical intra­molecular N—H⋯O and inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions, as well as weak π–π stacking inter­actions, affix the organic pillars within the framework. The two-dimensional layer can be simplified to a uninodal 4-connected sql/Shubnikov tetra­gonal plane net with point symbol {44.62}.
