Wc. Melo et al., STUDIES OF NEODYMIUM, EUROPIUM AND TERBIUM PICRATE COMPLEXES WITH BENZYL-T-BUTYL SULFOXIDE, Journal of alloys and compounds, 225(1-2), 1995, pp. 344-346
Complexes of the formula Ln(pic)(3) . 4L (Ln=Nd, Eu, Tb; pic, picrate;
L, benzyl-t-butylsulphoxide) were obtained either by precipitation by
ligand addition to a hot aqueous solution of the lanthanide salt or b
y simply melting a mixture of components (''one-pot'' synthesis). The
compounds were characterized by Ln titration with EDTA, C, H and N ele
mental analysis, IR spectra, absorption spectra of the neodymium compo
und, emission spectra of the europium compound and thermal analysis.
