Abstract
The reaction of 2 equivalents of 1,3-dimesitylimidazolium chloride with Cp3 Yb affords the salt [bis(1,3-dimesitylimidazolium)cyclopentadienide] [bis(c yclopentadienyl)dichloroytterbate]; the T-stacked cation is composed of two imidazolium fragments that are C-H . . .C(pi) hydrogen bonded to the bridg ing cyclopentadienide anion.
