Abstract: | Two new complexes of the Ln2(oda)3·nH2O (oda =–O2CCH2OCH2CO2–) series are reported, i.e. {Pr2(C4H4O5)3(H2O)3]·5H2O}n and {Nd2(C4H4O5)3(H2O)6]·C4H6O5·‐2H2O}n. The former is isostructural with the reported La analogue, while the latter is a new structural variety within the series. Each compound exhibits two independent nine‐coordinated Ln centres showing a variety of coordination geometries. |
