Diaqua­(2,6-dihy­droxy­benzoato-κ(2) O (1) ,O (1′))bis­(2,6-dihy­droxy­benzoato-κO (1))bis­(1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N′)lanthanum(III)–1,10-phenanthroline (1/1)

In the title compound, [La(C(7)H(5)O(4))(3)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(3)(H(2)O)(2)]·C(12)H(8)N(2), the La(III) atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands, four O atoms from three 2,6-dihy­droxy­benzoate (DHB) anions (one monodentate, the other bidentate) and two water O atoms, completing a distorted LaN(4)O(6) bicapped square-anti­prismatic geometry. Within the mononuclear complex mol­ecule, intra­molecular π–π stacking inter­actions are observed, the first between a coordinated phen mol­ecule and a DHB ligand [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7291 (16) Å], and the second between a coordinated phen mol­ecule and an uncoordinated phen ligand [centroid–centroid distance = 3.933 (2) Å]. Inter­molecular π–π stacking is observed between adjacent complexes [inter­planar distance = 3.461 (3) Å]. Intra- and inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed in the DHB ligands and between a water mol­ecule and DHB ligands, respectively. O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds are also observed in the DHB ligands and between uncoordinated phen mol­ecules and aqua ligands.
