Fig. 1.
50% Thermal ellipsoid plots, a) top view; b) side view; of the ‘coordination dimer’ in the unit cell of the crystal of (NaHoDOTMA)2·NaCl·(H2O)16. One HoDOTMA anion should be considered dehydrated and the other ‘semi’-hydrated. Hydrogen atoms, counter-ions and water molecules (except those close to apical positions) are omitted for clarity.
