The crystal packing of (I), showing (edge-on) the stacked arrangement of the undulating layers depicted in Fig. 2. Note the interlayer hydrogen-bonding interactions (dashed lines) from the water ligands of one layer to the nitrate anions of adjacent layers. Asterisks (*) indicate the approximate locations of the 1,2-dichlorobenzene solvent molecules. H atoms have been omitted and the La and water O atoms are shown as small spheres. |
