Electromagnetic Characteristics of Heteroligand Complexes of Gadolinium Stearate

A study is made of the effect incorporating 1,3-diketones (acetylacetone, benzoylacetone, dibenzoylmethane, and benzoyltrifluoroacetone) into the coordination sphere of gadolinium stearate has on the frequency, magnetic, and dielectric properties of heteroligand complexes. The compositions of synthesized heteroligand complexes of gadolinium stearate with 1,3-diketones are determined via thermogravimetric and elemental analysis. The microstructures of powders of the heteroligand complexes of gadolinium stearate are investigated via scanning electron microscopy.
