The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The title complex, [Tb(C11H12N2O)(6)]I-3, has essentially the same structure at 160 K as at room temperature, and is clearly centrosymmetric without any disorder, contrary to some proposals regarding the possible mechanism of triboluminescence. Terbium has an octahedral coordination and lies in a position of (3) over bar symmetry, with all six antipyrine ligands crystallographically equivalent. One iodide anion lies in a special position of site symmetry (3) over bar, and another is on a threefold rotation axis, to give three iodide anions per terbium-centred complex cation.
