Ve. Fedorov et al., AQUADIMETHYLSULFOXIDE COMPLEXES OF RARE-EARTH ELEMENTS PR, EU, AND TMWITH THE [MO3S7BR7](3-) CLUSTER ANION, Journal of structural chemistry, 36(6), 1995, pp. 956-978
New complexes of rare earth elements [Ln(DMSO)(m)(N2O)(n)][Mo3S7Br7],
Ln = Pr, Eu, Tm were synthesized and investigated by X-ray diffraction
analysis. In [Pr(DMSO)(6)(H2O)(2)](3+) and [Eu(DMSO)(7)(H2O)](3+), th
e coordination polyhedra of Ln are distorted square antiprisms (coordi
nation number is 8); in [Tm(DMSO)(6)(H2O)](3+) the coordination polyhe
dron of Ln is a distorted pentagonal bipyramid (coordination number is
7). In all complexes, DMSO is coordinated via oxygen atoms.
