Atranes

Genetal methods are described for the preparation of metalloatrane-3,7,10-triones, containing an atom of a ter-, quarter-, or quinquevalent metal (mainly in the form of hydrates). Seven intramolecular compounds of this type (with M = Nd^III, ClTi^IV, ClZr^IV, Ce^III, HOPb^IV, HOMn^IV, HOOU^VI), have been prepared, of which only two (with M = Nd^III and HOOU^VI) were known previously. Compounds with the composition N (CH₂COO)₃M · mN (CH₂COO)₃ · nH₂O with M = Nd^III, Th^IV, CO^III and Ni^III (m=1) and with M = Sb (m=3 and 4) have also been obtained.For part XVIII, see 1].
