Gh. Zhao et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF RARE-EARTH COMPLEXES WITH BENZENE-1,3,5-TRICARBOXYLIC ACID, Synthesis and reactivity in inorganic and metal-organic chemistry, 28(8), 1998, pp. 1405-1414
Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (TMA) and its mononuclear rare earth
complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, TG
-DTA, IR, fluorescence spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction analy
sis. It was shown that the three-coordinated rare earth ion is the cen
tral ion and located in the centre of a ligand basket forming the clat
hrate solid compound.
