Catena-Poly[hexakis(μ2-anilinoacetamide)bis(1,10-phenanthroline)dipraseodymium(III)

Abstract

The title compound, [Pr2(C8H9N2O)6C12H8N2)2] n , is a polymeric complex based on a binuclear unit with an inversion centre mid-way between the two PrIII ions, which are bridged by two tridentate, two bidentate and four monodentate (within the binuclear unit) acetamide groups. Each Pr atom is nine-coordinated by two 1,10-phenanthroline N atoms and four O and three N atoms of anilinoacetamide ligands. In the crystal structure, C—H...O, C—H...N, N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of a supramolecular network structure; an N—H...O hydrogen bond is also present within one ligand.
