P. Biagini et al., ALKYLATION OF LANTHANIDE ALKOXIDES - SYNTHESIS OF [LN(MU-OBU(T))3(MU-ME)3(ALME2)3] (LN=PR, ND OR Y), Journal of organometallic chemistry, 474(1-2), 1994, pp. 30000016-30000018
The alkylation of Ln(OBut)3 with AlMe3 leads to the mixed-bridged alky
l-alkoxy octahedral complexes [Ln(mu-OBut)3(mu-Me)3(AlMe2)3] (Ln = Pr,
Nd or Y). The neodymium derivative was characterised by single-crysta
l X-ray diffraction. The H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra of the diamagnetic y
ttrium complex showed the presence in solution of both fac and mer iso
mers.
