X-ray structural analysis of a samarium triscyclopentadienyl complex,
Cp3Sm . OC4H8 (1), and a samarium ionic salt, [Li(Et2O)2][CP3SM(mu-Cl)
SmCp3] (2), was carried out. In both compounds coordination saturation
is achieved by coordination of the THF molecule (in 1) or the Cl- ani
on (in 2) to the monomeric fragment CP3Sm. An unusual coordination of
the Li+ cation was observed in complex 2: it is bound to one of the et
a5-type cyclopentadienyl rings in addition to two ether molecules.
