Abstract: The title complex [Nd(Gly)(H2O )7]Cl3 was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction to obtain a final R value of 0.0260 and a wR value of 0.0868. The crystal is of monoclinic system with a space groug Pm. Every two neodymium ions in the crystal are connected with a carboxyl group to form a polymeric chain molecule. And each neodymium ion is further coordinated with seven oxygen atoms from water molecules. The counter ion(Cl-) is non coordinated to fill up the space between the polymeric chains. So the Nd 3+ cation is nine coordinated and the coordination polyhedron is a trigonotetradecahedron. In addition, there exists the mirror symmetry in the complex.
