Compound 1 crystallizes in the Pbca space group of orthorhombic system with a=19.465(3), b=12.034(4), c=19.842(4) , V=4648(2)3, C15H25N6O14Sm, Mr=663.76, Dc=1.897 g/cm3, S=1.023, μ(MoKα)=2.610 mm-1, F(000)=2648, R=0.0239 and wR=0.0616. Compound 1 is characteristic of an infinite 1-D chain-like structure with the samarium atoms locating at an environment of a monocapped square antiprism. The [Sm(PCA)3(H2O)2]n chains and the lattice water molecules interconnect together through π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding interactions to yield a 3-D supramolecular framework. Photoluminescent investigation reveals that the title compound displays an emission in the greenish blue region.
