Abstract:

The structure of the photoluminescent compound hexaaquadichloridoneodymium(III) chloride has been redetermined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data at 100 K, with the aim of providing an accurate structural model for the bulk crystalline material. The crystal structure may be described as a network of [NdCl2(H2O)6](+) cations with distorted square-antiprism geometry around the Nd(III) centre. The Nd(III) cation and the nonbonded Cl(-) anion are both located on twofold symmetry axes. The crystal packing consists of three different neodymium pairs linked by a three-dimensional network of O-H···Cl intermolecular interactions. The pair distribution function (PDF) calculated from the experimentally determined structure is used for the discussion of the local structure.
