Abstract

Colourless monoclinic single crystals of Y2[C6(COO)6]· 14H2O were grown in aqueous silica gel (space group P21/n, a = 847.5(1), b = 923.4(2), c = 1632.0(3) pm, β = 100.33(1)°, Ζ = 2, 223 parameters, 1784 reflections, Rg = 0.0357). Y3+ is coordinated by 5 water molecules and 3 oxygen atoms of the mellitate anion in a dodecahedral fashion. Y3+ and [C6(COO)6]6- ions are linked by coordinative bonds, yielding infinite chains of composition Y2(H2O)10[C6(COO)6] extending parallel to [100]. Hydrogen bonds connect adjacent chains.
