Crystal structure of [Y₆(μ₆-O)(μ₃-OH)₈(H₂O)₂₄]I₈·8H₂O

In the crystal structure of a hexa­nuclear Y³⁺ compound, the six Y³⁺ cations are arranged octa­hedrally around an μ₆-O atom at the centre of the cationic complex. Each of the eight faces of the Y₆ octa­hedron is capped by an μ₃-OH group in the form of a distorted cube. The proximity of the cationic complexes and lattice water mol­ecules leads to the formation of a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network of medium strength.
