THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF GADOLINIUM TRICHLORIDE HEXAHYDRATE

Journal Article · · Acta Cryst.
GdCl/sub 3/ - 6 H/sub 2/O is monoclinic with space group P2/n and two molecules in the cell; a = 9.651, b = 6.525, c = 7.923 A; beta = 93.65 deg . All atomic positions (except for hydrogen) were determined with high precision. The structure contains complexes STACl/sub 2/Gd(OH/sub 2/)/sub 6/! which are held together by 0-H... Cl bonds. Thus one third of the chlorine atoms are not bonded to gadolinium atoms. The only symmetry element of a complex is a twofold axis. The bond lengths are: Gd-C1=2.768, Gd-0 =2.39-2.42, 0-H... C1=3.143.24 A. (auth)
