| Abstract: We synthesized new mixed anion complex of lanthanide ［Ce(p-MBA)2(NO3)(phen)］2 in slightly acidic solution of ethanol and determined the single crystal structure. The title complex is triclinic, space group P1, a=1.1027(4) nm, b=1.2511(5) nm, c=1.0633(3) nm, α=106.90(3)°, β=96.73(3)°, γ=86.85(3)°, V=1.3937(9) nm3, DC=1.555 g·cm-3, Z=1, F(000)=650.00 and μ(MoKα)=16.82 cm-1. The four p-MBA ligands have two kinds of coordination modes and the coordination number of the Ce3+ is nine. There is some aromatic-stacking interaction in the benzene rings of two p-MBA ligands. |
