W. Liao, C. Hu and R. Dronskowski

Abstract: In the title compound, [Tb(C₂H₄N₄)₂(H₂O)₆]Cl₃, the coordination of the terbium(III) ion is a square-antiprismatic arrangement by six O atoms and two monodentate cyanoguanidine (cnge) molecules forming covalent Tb-N bonds of 2.446 (4) Å through their nitrile N atoms. The crystal structure consists of metal ion layers separated by the organic molecules along the a axis.
