Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure of Quaternary Complex of Gadolinium (Ⅲ)

A new quaternary mixed anion complex of gadolinium(Ⅲ), [Gd(CH 3CH 2COO) 2(N O 3)(phen)] 2, was synthesized and structurally characterized. The ESR spectr um of the complex with effective g values of 5.314, 2 473 and 1.880 in poly crys talline powder at room temperature is quite different from the U spectrum. The c oordination number of Gd 3+ is nine with a monocapped square antiprism geom etry. And the stacking effect was observed in the complex. The crystal of the co mplex belongs to triclinic with space group P 1, a=0.9626(4) n m, b=0.9732(4) nm, c=1.1758(5) nm, α=102.45(1)°, β=108.16(1) °, γ=96.68(2)°, V=1.0018(7) nm3, Z=2, D c=1.80 g·cm -3 , μ(MoKα)=33.63 mm -1, F(000)=530, GOF=1.80, R=0.023 and R w=0.027.
