title: Cyano-bridged gadolinium(III)-tungstate(V) bimetallic assembly with a one-dimensional chain structure.
abstract: In this paper, we report the crystal structure and magnetic properties of the cyano-bridged gadolinium-tungstate bimetallic assembly, GdIII(DMF)6[WV(CN)8](DMF =N,N-dimethylformamide). X-Ray single crystal analysis shows that this compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system of space group P2(1)/c with cell constants a= 16.40(2)A, b= 11.08(1)A, c= 21.18(2)A, beta= 91.09(8) degrees, and Z= 4. The crystal consists of one-dimensional linear chains, in which [GdIII(DMF)6]3+ and [WV(CN)8]3- ions are linked in an alternating fashion. The magnetic data show that this compound is a paramagnet with an antiferromagnetic coupling of -0.58 cm-1 between GdIII(S= 7/2) and WV(S= 1/2).
