Abstract
Two dimeric lanthanoid (III) complexes, [Ln2( bpy )2( pybet )4(H2O)4] ( bpy )3(ClO4)6.H2O ( bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, pybet = pyridinioacetate, and Ln Eu and Tb), have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complexes are isostructural, each comprising a quadruply carboxylato -bridged, centrosymmetrical dimeric cation, six perchlorate anions, three uncoordinated bpy molecules and a lattice water molecule. Each Ln ion is surrounded in a distorted square-antiprismatic environment by four carboxylato oxygen atoms, two nitrogen atoms of the bidentate bpy ligand and two aqua ligands . The Ln-O bond lengths range from 2.33 to 2.44 Ǻ, and Ln-N bond lengths from 2.55 to 2.64 Ǻ. The uncoordinated bpy molecules are linked to the aqua ligands by hydrogen bonds.
