Heterometallic Nd(III) and Fe(III) Complexes with Succinic Acid and Its Derivative: Synthesis and Physicochemical Properties

Heterometallic Nd(III) and Fe(III) complexes with succinic, malic, and tartaric acids were synthesized and studied by IR spectroscopy, thermography, and dissolution calorimetry. The formation of heterometallic compounds with specific properties was confirmed by comparison of physicochemical characteristics of heteronuclear and the corresponding mononuclear carboxylates.__________Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 5, 2005, pp. 397–400.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Shabanova, Frolov, Storozhenko, Zelenov.
