Complex 1 consists of two binuclear molecules [Pr(2-IBA)3 \textperiodcentered 2,2'-bipy]2 (a) and [Pr(2-IBA)3 \textperiodcentered 2,2'-bipy]2 (b), half uncoordinated ethanol and one uncoordinated water. In the two molecules (a) and (b), the coordination environment of central ions is similar. The Pr13+ ion in molecule (a) and Pr23+ ion in molecule (b) are nine-coordinate with seven oxygen atoms from five 2-IBA ligands and two nitrogen atoms from one 2,2'-bipy molecule. The crystal structure of complex 2 is similar to that of binuclear [Pr(2-IBA)3 \textperiodcentered 2,2'-bipy]2 in complex 1.", }
