The LCuGd(NO3)(3) . Me(2)CO complex crystallizes in the monoclinic spa
ce group P2(1)/c (No. 14) in a cell having the dimensions a = 9.799(1)
Angstrom, b = 18.926(3) Angstrom, c = 16.012(1) Angstrom, beta = 96.5
30(8)degrees, Z = 4. The four units forming the unit cell do not displ
ay any obvious short contacts between them. The magnetic behavior is c
haracteristic of a ferromagnetic interaction between the Gd3+ and Cu2 ions.
