Amino acid complexes of Pr(III) and Nd(III) have been synthesized by the reaction of lanthanide(III) isopropoxides and the amino acids (glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, histidine, serine, 4-aminobutyric acid, methionine, tryptophane and cysteine) in 1:3 molar ratio.These sparingly soluble complexes of the type Ln(amino acid)3 have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses and electronic spectral data.The values of Slater-Condon (F2, F4, F6) interelectronic repulsion and Lande (ξ4f) spin-orbit interaction parameters have been computed from the spectral data.The variation of these parameters in the complexes from the corresponding Pr(3+) and Nd(3+) free ion parameters is discussed.The average values of F4/F2 and F6/F2 have been found to be 0.139 and 0.0151 for Pr(III) complexes and 0.150 and 0.0150 for Nd(III) complexes, respectively.Using F2 values, the nephelauxetic ratio (β) and bonding parameter (b1/2) have been calculated.The relative variation of covalent bonding in the complexes has been discussed.
