U. Casellato et al., Hetero-dinuclear sodium-lanthanide(III) complexes with an asymmetric compartmental macrocycle, CHEM COMMUN, (2), 2000, pp. 145-146
A heterodinuclear macrocyclic complex containing both Yb3+ and Na+ ions has
been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography and H-1 and Na
-23 solution NMR; at room temperature the coordinated Na+ ion is in slow ch
emical exchange with free Na+ ions and its NMR resonance is strongly shifte
