. The three-dimensional (3D) framework of this compound is built up by the linkages of lanthanide atoms and the oxygen atoms of the sulphate
and nitrite
groups. The lanthanum atom is 9-fold coordinated. The structure is unfamiliar in lanthanide chemistry and this compound represents the first example of nitrite lanthanide sulphate complex.
Graphical Abstract
