A terbium complex associating two ligands, oxalate and glutarate, was prepared under hydrothermal conditions at 200°C by treating an aqueous suspension of terbium oxalate decahydrate with glutaric acid and guanidinium carbonate. Its structure was solved by X-ray diffraction on a single crystal. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with lattice constants, a = 9.514(1) Å, b = 9.0681(8) Å, c = 19.702(2) Å, and = 97.90(1)°. The terbium atoms and the oxalate ligands build dense chains which are connected by one side of the carboxylic group of some glutarate ligands, thus forming a sheet at the c level 0 and 1/2. These sheets are bridged by glutarate groups. The terbium atoms are ninefold coordinate with nine oxygen atoms of the ligands or with one water molecule and eight oxygen atoms of the ligands. Each polyhedron of the terbium atoms share one edge and one face of oxygen atoms with the two neighboring ones. The oxalate ligands are bischelating and bismonodentate. The coordination scheme of glutarate differs: either they are bismonodentate from one side and chelating and monodentate from the other side or they are chelating and monodentate from both sides.

Preparation and studies of new crystals in the K3H(SO4)2-(NH4)3H(SO4)2-H2O system

To elucidate the effect of isomorphic substitution on the kinetics of phase transitions, single crystals of (K _x (NH₄)_1?x ) _m H _n (SO₄)_{(m + n)/2} · yH₂O solid solutions are grown from the K₃H(SO₄)₂-(NH₄)₃H(SO₄)₂-H₂O system, whose end members are known to undergo superprotonic phase transitions of fundamentally different kinetics. The chemical composition of the single crystals grown is determined by energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The thermal and optical behavior of (K,NH₄)₉H₇(SO₄)₈ · H₂O single crystals is studied in the temperature range 295–420 K and the crystal structure at 295 K is determined. A comparison of the results of the studies with data for crystal K₉H₇(SO₄)₈ · H₂O published earlier shows that the substitution of ammonium for potassium atoms lowers the temperature of the structural phase transition by 8 K.
