Abstract

The crystal structure of the C 2H 16N 11NdO 17 complex ( I) is established by X-ray crystallography. Compound ( I) crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/ c, a = 10.8926(6) Å, b = 9.0003(6) Å, c = 20.4621(11) Å, α = 90°, β = 94.535(3)°, γ = 90°, V = 1999.8(2) Å 3, and Z = 4. The guanidinium N-H and water H atoms are engaged in hydrogen bonds with an oxygen atom of the nitrate groups attached on neodymium (Nd). This has resulted in the formation of a three dimensional network. Based on the Cambridge Structural Database, this is the first structurally-characterized neodymium nitrate anion bonded to the [(NH 2) 3C] + cation.
