S. Ivanov et al., SYNTHESIS AND X-RAY CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF A BARIUM COMPLEX WITH 2-METHOXY-2,6,6-TRIMETHYLHEPTANE-3,5-DIONATE, Polyhedron, 16(14), 1997, pp. 2527-2530
The preparation and crystallographic characterization of a barium comp
lex with 2-methoxy-2,6,6-trimethylheptane-3,5-dionate (L) are describe
d. The structure consists of dimeric complexes of Ba2L4(H2O)(1.81). Th
e coordination numbers of both barium atoms are nine owing to eight ox
ygen atoms from the four ligands L and a water molecule. (C) 1997 Else
