μ-2,2′-(Azinodimethylene)dibenzenesulfonato-bis[heptaaquaeuropium(III)] bis[2,2′-(azinodimethylene)dibenzenesulfonate] decahydrate

In the title compound, [Eu(2)(C(14)H(10)N(2)O(6)S(2))(H(2)O)(14)](C(14)H(10)N(2)O(6)S(2))(2)·10H(2)O, the complete bimetallic cation is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The Eu atom adopts a distorted dodeca-hedral coordination arising from one O-bonded 2,2'-azinodibenzene-sulfonate ligand and seven water mol-ecules. In the crystal structure, the components are linked by multiple O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
