“…[8] To synthesize 2, 1 is dissolved in a mixed solvent of water and acetonitrile (1:99 v/v), and then {Et 4 N}[VO 3 ] (1 equiv.) Although the crystal-structure analysis of 2 was unsuccessful, the IR spectrum clearly indicates the structural identity of 2, because the IR spectroscopic pattern in the fingerprint region matches exactly that of the previously reported complexes, [RE(V 9 O 27 )] 6-{RE = Ce 3+ , Pr 3+ , Nd 3+ , Sm 3+ , Eu 3+ , Gd 3+ , Tb 3+ , and Dy 3+ } [6,7] (Figure 3, Figure S7).
