Abstract

An X-ray structural investigation of the interaction products of anhydrous trivalent neodymium, gadolynium, and dysprosium chlorides with sodium phenylsiloxanolate was carried out. The synthesized compounds with the general formula Na6[PhSiO2]8M44-O)[O2SiPh]8 · 10EtOH · 8H2O (M = Nd, Gd, Dy) were found to be isomorphous isostructural sandwich complexes. The macrocyclic octaphenyloctasiloxanolate ligands in the complexes have anall-cis-configuration and are arranged in co-axial antiparallel pairs and coordinate the square planar groups of the four Nd3+, Gd3+, or Dy3+ ions stabilized by an additional central μ4-bridging O2− ligand. Six Na+ counterions form the outer coordination sphere of the complexes such that four of them coordinate the siloxane macrocycle O atoms in pairs in analogy with crown-ether complexes.
