A series of lanthanide chloranilate frameworks containing a (4,4)-net with LaIII, CeIII, NdIII, SmIII, and EuIII have been synthesised and structurally characterised. Two structure types of square grids were obtained for these frameworks. Type 1 consists of the formula (Et4N)[Ln(can)2(H2O)] (Ln=LaIII, CeIII, NdIII; H2can=chloranilic acid) and crystallised in the tetragonal space group I4/m, featuring a nine-coordinate lanthanide ion with a coordinated water molecule and four chloranilate ligands. Type 2, (Et4N)[Ln(can)2] (SmIII and EuIII) crystallised in the I4/mcm space group, and contains an eight-coordinate lanthanide ion without a coordinated water molecule. A single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation was carried out for (Et4N)[Nd(can)2(H2O)] on removal of the coordinated aqua ligand.

Room-temperature single-crystal neutron diffraction studies are recorded for two alums, Cs( Rh /V)(SO4)2.12H2O [cubic, Pa3, a 12.357(5) ( Rh ), 12.434(1)Ǻ (V)], residuals 0.037 and 0.068 for 328 and 164 'observed' reflections, with the intention of defining water molecule hydrogen atom orientations. Whereas the two tervalent hexaaqua cations are similar in size [ rM -O = 2.010(6)Ǻ (M = V) and 2.006(2)Ǻ (M = Rh )] the vanadium salt adopts the β alum modification while rhodium gives an α alum. Significantly, the water coordination geometry is different in the two cases with the tilt angle between the plane of the water molecule and the M-O bond vector being 1° (M = V) and 35° (M = Rh ). The tilt angle for water coordinated to rhodium in CsRh (SeO4)2.12H2O is inferred from the unit cell dimensions to be similar to that of the corresponding sulfate salt and not that which generally pertains for caesium selenate alums. Significant differences in the H-O-H bond angle are found for trigonal planar and trigonal pyramidal water coordination, suggesting that differences in the metal(III)-water interaction are a determinant of the geometry of the coordinated water molecule in the caesium sulfate/ selenate alum lattices.

The use of N'–(1–(pyridin–2–yl)ethylidene)nicotinohydrazide (HL) in lanthanide(III) chemistry has yielded one mononuclear and one dinuclear complexes. The 1:1 Nd(NO3)3.6H2O or Pr(CH3COO)3.6H2O/HL in methanol afforded the complexes [Nd (HL)2(NO3)2(H2O)2].(NO3) (1) and {[Pr(L)(h2–OOCCH3)(H2O)](h1:h2:m–OOCCH3)2[Pr (L)(h2–OOCCH3)(H2O)]} (2). The structures of the complexes were solved by single crystal X–ray crystallography. In the mononuclear complex, the Nd3+ atom is coordinated by two neutral molecules of ligand acting in tridentate fashion, two nitrate anions acting in bidentate manner and two coordinated water molecules yielding a twelve–coordinated Nd atom. In the complex (2) the Pr3+ atoms are doubly bridged by two acetates anions and each metal ion is coordinated by one tridentate monodeprotonated molecule ligand, one bidentate acetate group and one coordinated water molecule. Each Pr3+ atom is nine–coordinated with an environment best described as a tricapped prismatic geometry. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the following parameters: a = 22.7657(8) Å, b = 8.4276(3) Å, c = 18.0831(7) Å, b = 114.851(2)°, V = 3148.2(2) Å3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.032, wR2 = 0.098. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the following parameters: a = 11.5388(6) Å, b = 14.1087(8) Å, c = 12.2833(6) Å, b = 102.211(2)°, V = 1954.45(18) Å3, Z = 2, R1 = 0.029, wR2 = 0.066. The supramolecular structures are consolidated by multiple hydrogen bonds.

Abstract The crystal structure of Ni2(C4N3H7)4(H2O)(NCS)4 · 2.5 H2O has been determined by X-ray diffraction techniques. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 15.121(4), b= 13.237(2), c= 18.069(3), β = 94.71(2)° and Z = 4; R = 0.040 (Rm = 0.051). The compound consists of dimeric units in which two Ni ions are bridged by three ethyltriazole (Ettrz) groups. For one Ni, two N donating NCS- groups and an Ettrz coordinating by only one N atom complete the NiNe octahedron. The other Ni atom, which is also octahedrally coordinated, has a coordinated water molecule instead of a monodentate Ettrz.
