Single crystals of (4‐ClC7H6NH3)9[Nd(P6O18)2]·9H2O were synthesized in aqueous solution. This compound crystallizes in a triclinic P1 unit‐cell, with a = 14.898(6), b = 18.049(7), c = 20.695(6)Å, α = 102.04(3), β = 100.49(3), γ = 98.82(3)°, V = 5245(4) Å3 and Z = 2. The crystal structure has been solved and refined to R = 0.043 (Rw = 0.061) for 20420 observed reflections. The atomic arrangement of the title compound can be described as infinite layers built by complex of Neodyme [Nd(P6O18)2] and nine water molecules. The organic cations are located in the space delimited by the successive inorganic layers. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
