A Genuine Example of a Discrete Bimetallic (Cu, Gd) Complex - Structural Determination and Magnetic-Properties
The LCuGd(NO3)(3) . Me(2)CO complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (No. 14) in a cell having the dimensions a = 9.799(1) Angstrom, b = 18.926(3) Angstrom, c = 16.012(1) Angstrom, beta = 96.530(8)degrees, Z = 4. The four units forming the unit cell do not display any obvious short contacts between them. The magnetic behavior is characteristic of a ferromagnetic interaction between the Gd3+ and Cu2+ ions.
