L. Vanmeervelt et al., X-RAY CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE ANALYSIS OF THE TERBIUM DIPICOLINATE COMPLEX NA-3[TB(C7H3NO4)(3)].NACLO4.6H(2)O, Bulletin des Societes chimiques belges, 106(1), 1997, pp. 25-27
The crystal structure of Na-3[Tb(C7H3NO4)(3)]. NaClO4 . 6H(2)O has bee
n determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystal
lizes in the hexagonal space group P (6) over bar 2c, with a=10.442(3)
Angstrom, c=18.346(7) Angstrom and Z=2. Refinement of the crystal str
ucture on basis of 722 observed reflections led to R(1)=0.067. The coo
rdination polyhedron around terbium is a distorted tricapped trigonal
prism with D-3 symmetry.
