Wj. Evans et al., Synthesis and structure of a mixed valence metal carbitoxide complex: Eu-3[O(CH2CH2O)(2)CH2CH3](4)((OC6H3Pr2)-Pr-i-2,6)(3), INORG CH C, 2(11), 1999, pp. 530-532
The direct reaction of europium metal with HO(CH2CH2O)(2)CH2CH3 followed by
treatment with 2,6-(Pr2C6H3OH)-Pr-i leads to the crystallographically-char
acterizable, mixed valent carbitoxide product Eu-3[O(CH2CH2O)(2)CH2CH3](4)(
(OC6H3Pr2)-Pr-i-2,6)(3) (1), which contains bridging alkoxide Ligands and b
oth terminal and bridging aryloxide Ligands. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
