Abstract
The lanthanum(III) and dysprosium(III) complexes of triethylenetetramine-N, N, N′, N″, N‴, N‴-hexaacetic acid (H6ttha) were prepared and isolated as guanidinium salts:[C(NH2)3]2[La(Httha)] · 3 H2O and [C(NH2)3]2[Dy(Httha)] · 5 H2O. The X-ray crystal structure of both complexes was determined: In the La(III) complex (space group P1̄) all donor atoms (N4O6) are coordinated. The coordination number 10 is realized in a bicapped square antiprism (SAPRS-10). The bond length La to O of the protonated carboxylic group is ca. 0.3 Å longer than the other five La-O distances. The Dy(III) complex (space group P1̄) exhibits coordination number 9 in a monocapped square antiprism (SAPRS-9). The protonated carboxylic group is not coordinated.
