title: Crystal structure of [Eu(CyMe4-BTBP)2κ2O,O'-(NO3)](NO3)2·n-C8H17OH and its structure in 1-octanol solution.
abstract: The structure of the [Eu(CyMe(4)-BTBP)(2)(NO(3))(n)]((3-n)+) complex in 1-octanol solution and solid state has been determined by EXAFS and X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure shows that 1-octanol binds only to the europium(III)-coordinated BTBP molecules through weak van der Waals forces, making it the first indication of the role of the extraction solvent.
