Ib. Shirokova et al., Synthesis and study of complexes of some trivalent lanthanides and americium with N,N-dimethylacetamide and PW12O403- anions, RUSS J C CH, 27(10), 2001, pp. 729-734
The synthesis of crystalline complexes of trivalent lanthanides and americi
um with N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAA) and PW12O403- anions was described. Th
eir IR and electronic absorption spectra were studied. The structure of the
neodymium complex [Nd(DMAA)(6)PW12O40] was determined using X-ray diffract
ion analysis. The thermal behavior of the lanthanide complexes was studied.
In the 300-400 degreesC temperature interval, even in air, intramolecular
partial reduction of the anion occurs to form products which can be charact
erized as tungsten bronzes.
