(phen) 3 (H 2 O)(SCN)](SCN) 2 (where Ln= La III and all trivalent lanthanides, except Pm
and Lu) have been synthesized and characterized. The molar conductances, IR spectra and
thermograms show the presence of both coordinated and non-coordinated thiocyanate. The
complexes are eight-coordinate. Very large chemical shifts are observed in the NMR spectra
of paramagnetic complexes. The interelectronic and covalency parameters calculated for the …
