Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a new holmium(III) complex that exhibits a unique coordination environment.
Supporting Evidence
- The complex features a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry.
- Hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
Takeaway
Scientists created a new compound using holmium and certain organic molecules, and they figured out how the atoms are arranged in it.
Methodology
The complex was synthesized using p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and holmium nitrate, followed by crystallization.
