B. Yan et al., Novel one-dimensional cyano-bridged chain complexes [Ln(bet)(2)(H2O)(3)Fe(CN)(6)I-n (Ln = Nd, Pr, Sm, Gd; bet = betaine): synthesis, crystal structure and magnetochemistry, POLYHEDRON, 20(7-8), 2001, pp. 591-597
Using betaine ((CH3)(3)N+CH3CO2-) as the hybrid ligand, some novel isomorph
ous cyano-bridged complexes [Ln(bet)(2)(H2O)(3)Fe(CN)(6)](n) (Ln = Pr, Sm,
Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy; bet = betaine) (abbreviated as LnFe) have been synthesized,
which possess a chain structure through two approximately parallel trans-c
yano-bridges between Pr (and Gd) and Fe atoms and C-N . . .H-O hydrogen bon
ding. Variable temperature susceptibilities show that there exist weak anti
ferromagnetic interactions between rare earth ions (Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) and the
Fe atom mainly through CN bridges. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ
