The crystal structure of [Ce(4-OHcinn)3(MeOH)2(H2O)]·MeOH is a polymer, in which the cerium atoms are nonacoordinate, and adjacent cerium atoms are bridged by either two bridging bidentate or two bridging tridentate carboxylate ligands. Each cerium atom also has one monodentate 4-hydroxycinnamate ligand, one aqua ligand, and two methanol ligands.
