[Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of rare earth complexes with o-phthalate and 1,10-phenanthroline].

The complexes of rare earth ions (Nd3+, Sm3+) with o-phthalate and 1,10-phenanthroline have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, IR, and DTA-TG. The compositions of complexes have been confirmed to be RE2L3.2H2O and RE2L3 phen.2H2O (RE: rare earth ions, L: o-phthalic, phen: 1,10-phenanthroline), their far-IR and FT-Raman spectra have been discussed and studied.
