Abstract

Abstract : The synthesis of new mono‐ and bimetallic lanthanoid cluster compounds is reported. The metal‐to metal ratios of tetra‐ and pentanuclear clusters were determined by energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS). The EDS results show that, for an equal proportion of lanthanide salts introduced, different metal‐to‐metal ratios are achieved in the clusters. This ratio appears to be dependent on the size and electron density of the metal atoms. Studies realized the best conditions to achieve a 1:1 ratio. Abstract : The synthesis of new mono‐ and heterobimetallic lanthanoid cluster compounds is reported. The ratio of the two lanthanoids in the heterobimetallic complexes appears to be dependent on the size and electron density of the metal atoms.
