Abstract:A novel lanthanum cadmium complex [LaCd(bpy) 4 (NO 3 ) 5 ] (where bpy = 2,2 -Bipyridine) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction method, elemental analysis, spectral method (IR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), electronic spectra (UV-vis) and photoluminescence properties. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with unit cell parameters a = 16.883(2) Å, b = 14.382(2) Å, c = 18.981(3) Å, β = 96.806(2), V = 4576.5(11) Å 3 , and Z = 4. The complex is complet… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
