Abstract
In the title Ga(III) complex compound with pentetic acid, [Ga(C(14)H(20)N(3)O(10))(H(2)O)]·3H(2)O, the Ga(III) centre is bound in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere by two amine N atoms, three carboxyl-ate O atoms and one water O atom. The complex mol-ecule exists as a zwitterion. In the crystal, the complexes are linked to each other via O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (001). Three uncoordinating water mol-ecules link the complex layers via O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
