Bis­(μ-pyridine-2,3-dicarboxyl­ato)bis­[aqua­(3-carb­oxy­pyridine-2-carboxyl­ato)indium(III)] tetra­hydrate

In the binuclear centrosymmetric title compound, [In(2)(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)(C(7)H(4)NO(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·4H(2)O, which contains both pyridine-2,3-dicarboxyl­ate and 3-carb­oxy­pyridine-2-carboxyl­ate ligands, the In(III) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. One pyridine ligand is N,O-chelated while the other is N,O-chelated and at the same time bridging to the other via the second carboxyl group. In the crystal, an extensive O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding network, involving the coordinated and lattice water mol­ecules and the carboxyl groups of the ligands, together with C—H⋯O and π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.793 (1) Å], leads to the formation of a three-dimensional structure.
