Tetrakis(μ-2,4-difluorobenzoato)bis[(2,4-difluorobenzoato)(1,10-phenanthroline)gadolinium(III)]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Gd2(C7H3F2O2)6(C12H8N2)2], the asymmetric unit comprises one Gd3+ cation chelated by two 2,4-difluorobenzoate and one 1,10-phenanthroline ligands. Two cations are linked into a centrosymmetric dimer via three bridging carboxylate groups of 2,4-difluorobenzoate ligands. Each Gd3+ ion is nine-coordinated by seven O atoms and two N atoms.
