Ln. Bozukov et al., ON THE CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF RARE-EARTH COMPLEXES WITH 2-ETHYLHEXYL PHOSPHORIC-ACIDS, Crystal research and technology, 30(7), 1995, pp. 985-989
The crystal structure of the complexes of some rare-earths (RE = La, N
d, Pr and Er) with bis- and mono-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acids were s
tudied by using the X-ray powder diffraction. The results show that fo
r all RE investigated, the complexes of the diester crystrallize in or
thorombic symmetry and cell parameters have been determined. The compl
exes of the monoester have been found to be nanocrystalline or amorpho
us.
