Abstract: | The lanthanum(III) complexes tris(3,5‐diphenylpyrazolato‐κ2N,N′)tris(tetrahydrofuran‐κO)lanthanum(III) tetrahydrofuran monosolvate, [La(C15H11N2)3(C4H8O)3]·C4H8O, (I), and tris(3,5‐diphenyl‐1,2,4‐triazolato‐κ2N1,N2)tris(tetrahydrofuran‐κO)lanthanum(III), [La(C14H10N3)3(C4H8O)3], (II), both contain LaIII atoms coordinated by three heterocyclic ligands and three tetrahydrofuran ligands, but their coordination geometries differ. Complex (I) has a mer‐distorted octahedral geometry, while complex (II) has a fac‐distorted configuration. The difference in the coordination geometries and the existence of asymmetric La—N bonding in the two complexes is associated with intramolecular C—H...N/O interactions between the ligands. |
