crystal data
Chemical preparations and crystal data are described for the new nitratocomplexes {M(NO3)L} where M2+ is a metallic ion Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and L- the anion {(C2H5O)2P(O)CHCOCH2R}- with R an amino group. The isolation of one or many crystalline forms depends on the nature of the radical R. These different species have been characterized by their space groups and the powder patterns of the monoclinic forms have been indexed from the single-crystal dimensions.
