Fourteen complexes of lanthamde(III) ions with phenylalamne in presence of nitrate or perchlorate as counter anions have been synthesised solid state All these complexes have the general formulae [Ln(Phe)₃(NO₃)₃] and [Ln(Phe)₃(CIO₄)₂]CIO₄, where Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy and Y, and Phe = phenylalamne
