N,N-Dimethyl formamide (DMF) and N,N-diphenyl formamide (DPF) complexes of six lanthanide perchlorates of the composition M(DMF)8(C104)3 and M(DPF), (ClO,), where M = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, or Y have been prepared and characterized. The infrared spectra show that the amide is bonded to the metal through oxygen. Conductivity, molecular weight, and spectral studies indicate coordinationnumbers of eight and six for DMF and DPF complexes respectively, with the perchlorate groups remaining ionic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
