    Abstract:
    The crystal structure of isoquinolinium tetrakis[4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)butane-1,3-dionato]cerium(III) has been established by three-dimensional X-ray analysis and the molecular parameters refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations to R 0.128 over 5325 observed reflections from photographic data. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 22.76(4), b = 10.85(2), c = 20.13(4) Å, β = 112.58(10)°, Z = 4. Eight oxygen atoms surround the cerium atom, mean Ce - O = 2.470 Å, in a dodecahedral arrangement distorted by an N-H ⋯ O hydrogen bond from the isoquinolinium ion.
