We have structurally characterized many LnCl(3), Ln(SCN)(3) and Ln(NO3)(3) complexes of triethylene through heptaethylene glycols. The chain length typically controls the primary coordination sphere and the number of additional inner-sphere ligands (anions, water or solvent molecules) present. Of the three anions studied, the nitrate anion, with its preference for bidentate coordination and its hard oxygen donors, has the greatest effect on the PEG conformations. A third aspect of these complexes which has typically been overlooked is the nature of the supramolecular structures generated by hydrogen bonding of the PEG alcoholic termini and water molecules. In this presentation we review the several different structural series and discuss subtle trends that are apparent from small differences in the observed inner and outer-sphere coordination as a function of anion type, PEG chain length, and metal ionic radius.
