Abstract

YYCl3×6H2O reacts with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) to yield a complex of 1:2 yttrium:ligand stoichiometry. The yttrium(III) complex is characterized by the elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR as well as the X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal of [Y(phen)2Cl(H2O)3]Cl2×H2O obtained from a methanol solution crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P2, Z = 2, a = 10.3236(4) Å, b = 10.4566(4) Å, c = 12.5270(5) Å, α = 97.354(2)°, β = 108.740(2)°, γ = 93.458(2)°, Rint = 0.046. The Y(III) ion is eight-coordinated by four nitrogen, three oxygen atoms and one chlorine atom.
