Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Complex[Ce(CH_2=C(CH_3)COO)_2(NO_3)(Bipy)]_2

The new complex [Ce(CH2=C(CH3)COO)2(NO3)(Phen)]2 was prepared in ethanol- a queous solution with 8- hydroxyquinoline as the acidity regulator. Its crystal structure was determined by X- ray diffraction analysis. The title complex is t riclinic, space group P1, a=1.00832(3)nm, b=1.02858(8)nm, c=1.12350(8)nm, α =11 3.9250(10)° , β =103.8210(10)° , γ =81.4650(10)° , V=1.03252(14)nm3, Z=1, D c=1.700g· cm- 3, F(000)=522. The coordination number of Ce3+ is nine. CCDC: 211278.
