Thiocarbamide Derivatives of Europium, Holmium, and Erbium Iodides: Synthesis and Structures

Data on the synthesis, IR spectra, and X-ray diffraction analysis of the thiocarbamide complexes of europium, holmium, and erbium iodides, [Ln(H(2)O)(9)]I(3) center dot 2CS(NH(2))(2) (Ln = Eu (I), Ho(II), Er (III)), are presented. The crystal structures of the complexes contain nonaaqualanthanide cations (the polyhedron shape is a monocapped tetragonal antiprism), outer-sphere thiocarbamide molecules, and uncoordinated iodide ions. The thiocarbamide molecules form hydrogen bonds with the aqua cations and join them into continuous layers or network ensembles. The thiocarbamide molecules are disordered in the crystal structures of complexes II and III.
