The first example of solvothermally synthesized thioantimonates(V) with ethylenediamine coordinated lanthanide(III): [Sm(en)(4)]SbS4 center dot 0.5en and [Sm(en)(3)(H2O)(mu-SbS4)](infinity)
Under mild solvothermal conditions two novel thioantimonates(V) [Sm(en)(4)]SbS4.0.5en (1) and [Sm(en)(3)(H2O)(mu-SbS4)](infinity) (2) were synthesized; the structure of 1 contains discrete [Sm(en)(4)](3+) and [SbS4](3-) ions, while 2 consists of neutral [Sm(en)(3)(H2O) (mu-SbS4)] one-dimensional chains.
