Synthesis and structures of nine-coordinate K[Dy(Edta)(H2O)3] · 3.5H2O, (NH4)3 [Dy(Ttha)] · 5H2O, and eight-coordinate NH4[Dy(Cydta)(H2O)2] · 4.5H2O complexes

The title complexes, K[Dy(Edta)(H2O)3] · 3.5 H2O (I) (H4Edta = ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid), (NH4)3[Dy(Ttha)] · 5H2O (II) (H6Ttha = triethylenetetramine-N, N,N′,N″,N‴,N‴-hexaacetic acid), and NH4[Dy(Cydta)(H2O)2] · 4.5H2O (III) (H4Cydta = trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid), were prepared, and their compositions and structures were determined by elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, respectively. In complex I, the Dy3+ ion is nine-coordinated by an Edta ligand and three water molecules, yielding a pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic conformation, and the complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system with space group Fdd2. The crystal data are as follows: a = 19.751(7), b = 35.573(12), c = 12.227(4) Å, V = 8591(5) Å3, Z = 16, space group Fdd2 ρc = 1.877 g/cm3, μ = 3.742 mm−1, F(000) = 4800, R = 0.0259, and wR = 0.0616 for 3218 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). For complex II, the Dy3+ ion is nine-coordinated by a Ttha ligand, yielding a pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic conformation, and the complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P21/c. In addition, there is a free non-coordinate carboxyl group (-CH2COO−) in the [Dy(Ttha)]3− complex anion. The crystal data are as follows: a = 10.353(3), b = 12.746(4), c = 23.141(7) Å, β = 91.005(5)°, V = 3053.2(15) Å3, Z = 4, space group P21/c ρc = 1.730 g/cm3, μ = 2.532 mm−1, F(000) = 1620, R = 0.0332 and wR = 0.0924 for 5390 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). For complex III, the Dy3+ ion is eight-coordinated by a ligand Cydta and two water molecules, yielding a distorted square antiprismatic conformation, and the complex crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \bar 1 $$\end{document}.
