Along with crystallographic data of Ln[Fe(CN){sub 6}].4H{sub 2}O (Ln=lanthanide), the infrared spectra are reassigned to examine bond length trends across the series of Ln. The changes in mean Ln-O, Ln-N, C{identical_to}N and Fe-C distances are discussed and the bond natures of Ln-N and Ln-O are studied by bond length linear or quadratic fitting and comparisons with relevant ionic radii. The two different C{identical_to}N bond distances have been simulated by the covalo-electrostatic model. - Graphical abstract: Crystallographic and FTIR data for Ln[Fe(CN){sub 6}].4H{sub 2}O enable the changes in Ln-O, Ln-N, C{identical_to}N and Fe-C distances to be determined and modeled across the lanthanide series.
