Abstract

Reaction of Ln(ClO4)3 (Ln=Nd or Gd) with L-serine at pH 6.0 yielded the aqua hexanuclear clusters [Nd6(μ6-O)(μ3-OH)8(H2O)24](ClO4)8·6 H2O (1) and [Gd6(μ6-O)(μ3-OH)8(H2O)24](ClO4)8·6 H2O (2). They are isomorphous and comprised of a regular octahedron of 6 lanthanide ions encapsulating a μ6-O2− anion and capped by a μ3-OH group on each face. The structure can also be regarded as an oxo-centered octahedron embedded in a cube formed by 8 μ3-OH groups.
