Di-tert-butylcyclopentadienyl complexes of europium and ytterbium: synthesis and crystal structures of (1,3-Bu(t)(2)C5H3)(2)Eu center dot THF, (1,3-Bu(t)(2)C5H3)(C5Me5)Yb center dot THF, and (1,3-Bu(t)(2)C5H3)(2)Yb(mu(2)-Cl)(2)Li(THF)(2)
Av. Khvostov et al., Di-tert-butylcyclopentadienyl complexes of europium and ytterbium: synthesis and crystal structures of (1,3-Bu(t)(2)C5H3)(2)Eu center dot THF, (1,3-Bu(t)(2)C5H3)(C5Me5)Yb center dot THF, and (1,3-Bu(t)(2)C5H3)(2)Yb(mu(2)-Cl)(2)Li(THF)(2), RUSS CHEM B, 48(11), 1999, pp. 2162-2166
The (1,3-(Bu2C5H3)-C-t)(2)Eu . THF complex was prepared by the reaction of
1,3-(Bu2C5H3Na)-C-t with EuI2 in tetrahydrofuran. The mixed-ligand (1,3-(Bu
2C5H3)-C-t)(C5Me5)Yb . THF complex was obtained by the reaction of YbI2 wit
h C5Me5Na and 1,3-(Bu2C5H3Na)-C-t. The reaction of 1,3-(Bu2C5H3Li)-C-t with
YbCl3 afforded the (1,3-(Bu2C5H3)-C-t)(2)Yb(mu(2)-Cl)(2)Li(THF)(2) ate-com
plex. The structures of the title compounds were established by X-ray diffr
action analysis.
