Pc. Isolani et al., Europium(III) picrate complexes with alpha-(diethoxyphosphoryl)propanone and diethyl-1-methylvinylphosphate: Syntheses, spectroscopy and structures, J COORD CH, 48(4), 1999, pp. 391-402
The Eu(III) picrate complexes with the isomers alpha-(diethoxyphosphoryl)pr
opanone and diethyl-1-methylvinylphosphate were synthesized and characteriz
ed by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and emission spectroscopy. X-ray
single crystal analyses show that in both complexes the picrate anions are
bidentate, bonded through the phenolic and one o-nitrogroup oxygens. The ne
utral ligands are bonded only through their phosphoryl oxygens, resulting i
n tricapped trigonal prism coordination polyhedra with C-3v symmetry.
