STRUCTURAL STUDY OF YTRIUM(III) COMPLEX WITH NAPHTHOYLTRIFLUOROACETONE AND O-PHENANTROLINE

Abstract

    A tetrakis ytrium(III) complex Y(TFNB)3Phen has been synthesized, in which TFNB is 4,4,4-tri- fluoro-1(2-naphthyl)-1,3-butanedionate and Phen is 1,10-phenanthroline. Itscrystallographic structure was successfully determined and investigated. X-raycrystallographic analysis reveals that the complex is of mononuclear structure comprisingthree TFNB ligands with one ancillary ligand and one lanthanide ion.
