| Abstract: | A new Nd(Ⅲ) nitronyl nitroxide complex [Nd(NIT2Py)2(NO3)3] (NIT2Py = 2-(2'-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction.It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/n with a = 12.396(4), b =11.134(4), c = 23.360(7)(。A), β = 98.178(6)°, V= 3191.2(18)(。A)3, C24H32NgNdO13, Mr = 798.83, Dc =1.663 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 1.704 mm-1, F(000) = 1612, Z = 4, the final R = 0.0425 and wR = 0.0957for 6532 independentreflections with Rint = 0.0642 and 4552 observed reflections (I ＞ 2σ(I)).The complex exists as discrete mononuclear molecules and the neodymium(Ⅲ) ion is ten-coordinated with three bidentate nitrate anions and two radical ligands (NIT2Py) via bidentate chelating mode.The optical properties of the complex are discussed. |
