Novel Configurational Structures of Sodium Tetrakis(3-heptafluorobutylryl-(+)-camphorato) Ln(III) Complexes with a Trapped Na+ by Na+···FC Interactions in the Solid State and in Solution

Abstract
For newly prepared sodium tetrakis(3-heptafluorobutylryl-(+)-camphorato) Ln(III) complexes, the X-ray crystal analysis revealed an unprecedented pseudo-achiral dodecahedron (DD-8 (D(2d))), whereas in CHCl3 solution, the exciton CD and 19F NMR spectra showed a novel chiral Delta-SAPR-8 (C4) configuration which is stereospecifically formed by a trapped Na+ ion with Na+...FC (fluorocarbon) interactions.
