title: Complexation of trivalent lanthanide cations by inositols in the solid state: crystal structure and an FT-IR study of PrCl3.myo-inositol.9 H2O.
abstract: The title compound, PrCl3.C6H12O6.9 H2O crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with cell dimensions a = 15.8293(3), b = 8.67750(10), c = 16.2292(3) A, beta = 107.0788(8) degrees, V = 2130.92(6) A3 and Z = 4. Each Pr ion is coordinated to nine oxygen atoms, two from the inositol and seven from water molecules, with Pr-O distances from 2.4729 to 2.6899 A; the other two water molecules are hydrogen-bonded. No direct contacts exist between Pr and Cl. There is an extensive network of hydrogen bonds formed by hydroxyl groups, water molecules, and chloride ions. The IR spectra of Pr-, Nd-, and Sm-inositol complexes are similar, which shows that the three metal ions have the same coordination mode. The IR results are consistent with the crystal structure.
