Gh. Maunder et A. Sella, SIMPLE ADDUCTS OF SAMARIUM AND YTTERBIUM DIIODIDE - SYNTHESIS AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURES OF LNI(2)(3,5-LUTIDINE)(4) (LN = SM, YB) AND YBI2 (4-T-BUTYLPYRIDINE)(4), Polyhedron, 17(1), 1998, pp. 63-68
Reaction of LnI(2) (Ln = Sm, Yb) with substituted pyridines in THF giv
es good yields of the highly coloured complexes [LnI(2)(py)(4)]. The s
tructures of complexes [LnI(2)(3,5-lutidine)(4)] (Sm, Yb) and [YbI2(4-
t-butylpyridine)(4)] have been determined by X-ray crystallography and
show simple octahedral coordination about the metal centre with trans
-iodide ligands. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
