title: Potassium bis-(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexa-fluoro-pentane-2,4-dionato)bis-(4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-butane-1,3-dionato)europate(III).
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title complex, K[Eu(C(5)HF(6)O(2))(2)(C(10)H(6)F(3)O(2))(2)], the Eu(III) ion is in a slightly distorted square-anti-prismatic coordination geometry which is defined by eight O atoms of the anionic β-diketone ligands. The two K(+) ions lie on crystallographic inversion centers. The Eu-O bond distances are in the range 2.294 (5)-2.413 (5) Å. The crystal used was a non-merohedral twin, the ratio of the twin domains being 0.5236 (5):0.4764 (5).
