Sx. Liu et al., SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF COMPLEXES OF ERBIUM(III) PICRATE WITH N,N,N',N'-TETRAPHENYL-3,6,9-TRIOXAUNDECANEDIAMIDE, Polyhedron, 16(9), 1997, pp. 1491-1495
Reaction of erbium picrate with N,N,N',N'-tetraphenyl-3,6,9-trioxaunde
canediamide (TTD) yielded [Er(Pic)(3)(TTD)]. Its crystal structure sho
ws that the Er-III ion is coordinated to five oxygen atoms of TTD, thr
ee oxygen atoms of two picrates and one oxygen atom of H2O giving a co
ordination number of nine. The TTD molecule acts as a multidentate lig
and forming a ring-like coordination structure similar to those of cro
wn compounds. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
