Abstract

The reaction of an acetonitrile solution of ammonium molybdate with gadolinium chloride in the presence of lactic acid gives rise to the formation of a spherical cluster anion containing six Mo atoms with a Gd(III) encapsulated at the center, [GdMo6(CH3CHOCOO)6O15]3− 1, which is further linked to a three-dimensional network by ammonium ions via hydrogen bonding. The magnetic properties of the complex have been studied by measuring its magnetic susceptibility at various temperatures in the 5–300 K range. The results are consistent with room temperature EPR data.
