ChemInform Abstract
Reaction of Ln(ClO4)3 (Ln: Nd, Gd) with L-serine at pH 6.0 yields the aqua hexanuclear clusters [Ln6(μ6-O)(μ3-OH)8 (H2O)24] (ClO4)8×6H2O. They are isomorphous and comprised of a regular octahedron of six lanthanide ions encapsulating a μ6-O2- anion and capped by a μ3-OH group on each face. The compounds crystallize in the tetragonal space group P4/mnc with Z = 2.
