Diacetonalkohol‐Komplexe von Lanthanoid‐Trichloriden. Die Kristallstrukturen von [LnCl3(DAA)2] mit Ln = Sm und Eu

Diacetone Alcohol Complexes of Lanthanide Trichlorides. Crystal Structures of [LnCl₃(DAA)₂] with Ln = Sm and Eu The diacetone alcohol complexes [LnCl₃(DAA)₂] with Ln = samarium ( 1 ) and europium ( 2 ) are obtained from the waterfree metal trichlorides with excess diacetone alcohol (4‐hydroxy‐4‐methyl‐2‐pentanone = DAA) forming colourless ( 1 ) and pale yellow crystals ( 2 ), respectively, which are characterized by crystal structure determinations. The europium compound 2 is additionally described by its vibrational spectra (IR, Raman). 1 and 2 crystallize isotypically with one another. The metal atoms of the molecular complex units are unusually coordinated in a distorted pentagonal‐bipyramdial fashion by the three chlorine atoms and by the two alcoholic oxygen atoms of the DAA molecules in the equatorial plane. The apical positions are occupied by the carbonyl oxygen atoms of the chelating DAA molecules. The complex units [LnCl₃(DAA)₂] are associated along [100] by bifurcated —OH···Cl···HO— bridges to form chains. 1 : Space group P2₁, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at —80 °C: : a = 710.2(1), b = 1617.6(2), c = 827.3(1) pm; β = 106.36(1)°; R₁ = 0.026. 2 : Space group P2₁, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at —80 °C: a = 709.7(1), b = 1614.5(2), c = 825.7(1) pm; β = 106.40(1)°; R₁ = 0.0303.
