Abstract

Five complex species of Nd(III) with HA have been spectroscopically and compositionally identified as NdA3, NdA3(HA), NdA3(HA)H2O, NdA3(H2O)3, and Nd(H2O)23·3A (HA, bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)dithiophosphinic acid) with the help of X-ray diffraction analysis on single crystals of Nd(H2O)9·H2O·3B (HB = bis(iso-butyl)dithiophosphinic acid.
