Bis(μ-2-phenoxypropionato-κ2O:O′)bis[(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)bis(2-phenoxypropionato-κ2O,O′)samarium(III)]

Abstract

The dimeric title compound, [Sm2(C9H9O3)6(C12H8N2)2], is centrosymmetric and is composed of six 2-phenoxypropionate anions and two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands. The SmIII atom is coordinated by two O atoms from two bridging anions, four O atoms from two chelating anions and the N atoms of the N-heterocycle in a distorted dodecahedral geometry.
