Tris[dimethyl (benzoyl-amido)-phosphato-κ(2) O,O'](1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N')neodymium(III).

ABSTRACT

In both independent mol-ecules of the title compound, [Nd(C9H11NO4P)3(C12H8N2)], the Nd(III) atom is coordinated by six O atoms belonging to three phosphoryl ligands and two N atoms of 1,10-phenanthroline in a dodeca-hedral geometry. In the phosphoryl ligands, the benzene rings are twisted with respect to the planes of the sp(2)-hybridized C atoms of the chelate rings by 12.1 (1)-24.7 (1)°.
