Source of material

The following compounds 0.0461 g erbium nitrate hexahydrate (0.10 mmol), 0.0180 g 1,10-phenanthroline (0.10 mmol) and 0.0122 g benzoic acid (0.10 mmol) were mixed homogeneously under stirring, then placed in a 25 mL Teflon-lined stainless steel reactor, and finally heated to 120°. Seventy-two hours later, the reactor cooled naturally. Pink crystals were obtained for X-ray single-crystal diffraction test, yield 46% based on Er.

Experimental details

The structure was solved by direct methods with the SHELXS program. All H-atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and refined isotropically (U iso(H) = 1.2 U eq(C) and U iso(H) = 1.2 U eq(N)) using a riding model with C–H = 0.950 Å.

Comment

The four-component dimers of lanthanide complexes composed of lanthanide(III) cations, nitrate, benzoic acid or its derivatives, and 1,10-phenanthroline have been reported with a chemical formula [Ln2(L)4(phen)2(NO3)2] (Ln = lanthanide(III) ions, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, and L = benzoate or its derivatives) [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. Also two analogues of erbium complexes (L = 4-acetamidobenzoate [12] and 2-fluorobenzoate [13]) and two isostructures complex (Ln = praseodymium [14] and holmium [15]) have been published elsewhere, respectively. The title complex, with the formula of [Er2(L)4(phen)2(NO3)2] (L = benzoate) has not been reported. The title complex crystallizes in P 1 located around an inversion center (see the Figure). Consequently the asymmetric unit consists of one Er(III) ion, two benzoates, one phen, and one nitrate. The dimer is made of two asymmetric units linked by four benzoates, which adapt two coordination modes: two of them are in a μ2-k2O:O′ mode while the other two briding ligands use a μ2-k3O,O′:O mode. The distance of the two Er(III) ions is 3.929 Å. The dimers are linked together by weak non-classical hydrogen bonds C10–H10⃛O7, C16–H16⃛O7, and C17–H17⃛O7, and weak π⃛π interactions. All bond lengths are similar to the reported results of its analogues [12, 13].
