metal-organic compounds
In [Gd(C2H6OS)8][Fe(CN)6], the central atom of the [Gd(C2H6OS)8]3+ complex cation occupies a twofold axis, while in the [Fe(CN)6]3- anion it is positioned on a centre of inversion. Gd-O bond lengths vary between 2.374 (5) and 2.417 (5) Å, but the Fe-C distances of 1.943 (8)-1.952 (8) Å are equal, within experimental error.
