Synthesis and characterization of a novel (glycinato-N,O) yttrium(III) complex

Abstract

A novel yttrium(III) complex with glycine has been synthesized starting from tris(ethanedioato-O,O)yttrium(III) by the substitution of the acetylacetonato chelate ligands with glycine. The reaction product was purified by ion-exchange chromatography and characterized on the basis of infrared spectroscopy. The structure of the productwas tentatively established as tris(glycinato-N,O)yttrium(III) dihydrate.
