Mn. Sokolov et al., Synthesis and structure of the niobium complexonate [Nb2S4(Py(COO)(2))(2)(H2O)(2)] center dot 3H(2)O, RUSS J C CH, 24(11), 1998, pp. 775-780
The complex [Nb2S4(Py(COO)(2))(2)(H2O)(2)] . 3H(2)O was synthesized and stu
died by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals are monoclinic, space grou
p P2(1)/n, a = 21.075(2), b = 11.203(1), c = 21.749(2) Angstrom, beta = 1 1
0.631(9)degrees, V = 4805.7(8) Angstrom(3), Z = 8. The structure contains t
wo crystallographically independent types of molecules having identical str
ucture and close geometric parameters. The complex synthesized is the first
structurally characterized niobium complexonate.
