Ma Jianfang,Ni Jiazuan. The Structures of Rare Earth Carboxylates[J]. Progress in Chemistry, 1996, 8(04): 259-.
The structures of 200 rare earth carboxylates are summarized systematically. The structural skeletons and the coordination modes of the carboxyl groups are discussed in detail. The structures are classified in to six groups: monomer, dimer, tetramer,polymeric chain, polymeric layer and 32dimensional networks. The most common coordination numbers are 8 or 9.
