Tetrakis(μ- N-acetyl- N-phenyl­glycinato-κ2 O,O′)­bis­[( N-acetyl- N-phenyl­glycinato-κ3 O,O,O)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)­cerium(III)] dihydrate.

In the title complex, [Ce2(C10H10NO3)6(C12H8N2)2]·2H2O, each Ce atom shows a distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination, comprising two N-atom donors from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and seven O atoms of the N-acetyl- N-phenyl­glycine ( L2) mol­ecules. Two Ce atoms are bridged by two terdentate and two bidentate carboxyl­ate groups of L2, to give a centrosymmetric dimer. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
