Penta­kis(ethyl­enediammonium) tri-μ-sulfato-bis­tris­ulfatocerate(IV) trihydrate

摘要

In the cerate(IV) anion of the title salt, (C2H10N2)5[Ce2(SO4)9]·3H2O, the two metal atoms are bridged by three sulfate units; each metal atom is itself chelated by other three sulfate units so that the metal atoms exist in nine-coordinate tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometries. The anions, cations and uncoordinated water mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. One of the five cations is disordered with respect to the ethyl­ene portion in a 1:1 ratio.
