Anion-Ï€ and H-Bonding Interactions Supporting Encapsulation of [Ln(NO)] (Ln = Nd, Er) with a Triazine-Based Ligand.

Reaction of Nd and Er nitrate salts with a 1,3,5-tris(dipicolylamine)-triazine () ligand yielded two unprecedented examples of [Ln(NO)] (Ln = Nd, Er) moieties completely encapsulated by the ligands. They are found in the two new complexes, [(H)][(Nd(NO))]·2CHCN (), and the related [(H)][(Er(NO))]·3CHCN·2HO (). The structures of the complexes are similar and they crystallize in the triclinic -1 space group with = 12.

Secondary-Sphere Chlorolanthanide(III) Complexes with a 1,3,5-Triazine-Based Ligand Supported by Anion-π, π-π, and Hydrogen-Bonding Interactions.

2,4,6-Dipicolylamine-functionalized 1,3,5-triazine (dpat) was isolated. When reacted with LaCl, compound [(LaCl)(Hdpat)][HO] () formed, which crystallized in the monoclinic 2/ space group with parameters = 11.47 Ã…, = 19.
