Jz. Jiang et al., THE PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MONOMERIC LANTHANIDE TETRAPHENYLPORPHYRIN CRYSTALS, [LN(TPP)ACAC-CENTER-DOT-3TCB-CENTER-DOT-8H(2)O](LN=GD, SM), Journal of alloys and compounds, 225(1-2), 1995, pp. 363-366
Crystals of tetraphenylporphyrinato lanthanoid(III) complexes, [Ln(tpp
)acac . 3TCB . 8H(2)O] (Ln=Gd, Sm), were prep ared and isolated by dir
ect crystallization of the reaction mixture from solution of toluene:T
CB (10:1). Its monomeric composition was characterized on the basis of
UV-vis, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), IR, Raman, H-1 NMR spectra
and elemental analysis. Single-crystal lattice parameters were obtain
ed by X-ray crystallography of triclinic [Gd(tpp)acac . 8H(2)O . 3TCB]
, a = 19.72 Angstrom, b=21.62 Angstrom, c=23.15 Angstrom, alpha=69.64
degrees, beta=81.52 degrees, gamma=83.06 degrees, and V=9048 Angstrom(
