Abstract
The crystal structure of NdCl3·C6H12O6·9H2O has been determined. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, p2(1)/n space group with cell dimensions: a=15.824(3)Å,b=8.633(2)Å,c=16.219(3)Å,β=107.24°, V=2116.1(7)Å3 and Z=4. Each Nd ion is coordinated to nine oxygen atoms, two from inositol and seven from water molecules, with an Nd–O distance of 2.449–2.683Å, the other two water molecules are hydrogen bonded. No direct contacts exist between Nd and Cl. There is an extensive network of hydrogen bonds in hydroxyl groups, water molecules and chloride ions in the crystal structure of the lanthanide complex. The Raman spectra of Pr–, Nd– and Sm–inositol are similar, which show that the three metal ions have the same coordination mode. The Raman spectra are consistent with their structures.
