  "abstract": "The title polymeric compound, poly[[triaqua(μ3-2,3,5,6-tetrabromobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylato)hemi(μ2-2,3,5,6-tetrabromobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylato)erbium(III)] trihydrate], {[Er(C8Br4O4)1.5(H2O)3]·3H2O}n or {[Er(Br4bdc)1.5(H2O)3]·3H2O}n (1), was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. The asymmetric unit contains one ErIII cation, one and a half Br4bdc2– dianions, three coordinated H2O molecules, and three uncoordinated solvent H2O molecules. The central ErIII cation is seven-coordinated within a distorted capped trigonal-prismatic geometry. The coordination sphere is defined by four carboxylate oxygen atoms from four Br4bdc2– ligands and three aqua oxygen atoms. The Br4bdc2– ligand occupies a general position, and acts as a μ3-bridge linking three symmetry-related ErIII cations. It coordinates via μ3-κO:κO′:κO′′ mode, using its carboxylate oxygen atoms to extend into a two-dimensional polymeric sheet parallel to the bc plane. Meanwhile, the remaining Br4bdc2− ligand is situated on a crystallographic inversion centre and adopts a μ2-κO:κO′ coordination mode linking the sheets into a three-dimensional network. The cohesion of the three-dimensional supramolecular framework is enhanced by classical O–H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is further consolidated by intermolecular Br...Br and Br...O halogen bonding interactions. The analysis of the Hirshfeld surface reveals that the primary contributions arise from Br...Br (23.5%) and O...H/H...O (20.8%) contacts. Additional contributions include Br...H/H...Br (13.2%), H...C/C...H (12.5%), Br...C/C...Br (8.4%), Br...O/O...Br (7.0%), and O...O (5.3%) interactions.>",
