Abstract

Crystalline [Dy(NCS)3(dibenzo-30-crown-10)(H2O)2]·H2O·MeCN can be obtained by slowly evaporating a reaction mixture of Dy(NCS)3·nH2O with dibenzo-30-crown-10 in a solution of acetonitrile. The material crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP21/n, the cell parameters area=11.450(5),b=23.284(4),c=18.424(6)A, β=106.28(4)°,V=4715A3,M=968.47,D x=1.36 g cm−1, μ=17.80 cm−1,F(000)=1972,Z=4.2740 independently observed [I≥3σI] reflections were used in the final least-squares refinement leading to an agreement index ofR=0.085. The Dy(III) ion coordination geometry approximates a square antiprism, involving two water oxygens and three dibenzo-30-crown-10 oxygen atoms and three isthiocyanate nitrogens. Hydrogen bonds are formed between the two water molecules and four uncoordinated crown ether oxygen atoms.
