The structure of [Yb(C4H10O2)(C4H8O)2(C12H8N)2] is monomeric with a di
storted octahedral environment at Yb. The metal centre is surrounded b
y two 9-carbazolyl ligands which are cis to each other, two cis tetrah
ydrofuran ligands and one chelating dimethoxyethane ligand. Yb-N dista
nces are 2.45 (2) and 2.43 (3) angstrom with a cis N-Yb-N angle of 107
.3 (7)-degrees.
