The synthesis and X-ray diffraction study of three heterometallic compounds of general formula (Ln{sub 2}[LnGe{sub 6}(μ-Oedph){sub 6}(μ-O){sub 3}(μ-OH){sub 3}(H{sub 2}O){sub 4}] · xH{sub 2}O){sub n} [Ln = Nd, x ∼ 26 (I); Er, x ∼ 24 (II); Tm, x ∼20 (III); H{sub 4}Oedph = 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic acid] are performed. The basis element of structures I–III is a hexanuclear complex anion [Ge(μ-Oedph)(μ-O){sub 0.5}(μ-OH){sub 0.5}]{sub 6}{sup 9−}, in which bridging hydroxo and oxo ligands are statistically disordered with equally probability. Hexameric units are connected by Ln1(H{sub 2}O){sub 4} fragments into a framework whose channels are completely populated by disordered lanthanide atoms and water molecules.
