A novel full-sandwich lanthanacarborane complex bearing an eta(7)-carboranyl ligand, {{[eta(7)-Me2Si(C13H9)(C2B10H11)](2)Yb-III}(2)Yb-II}{Na-8(THF)(20)}
Sw. Wang et al., A novel full-sandwich lanthanacarborane complex bearing an eta(7)-carboranyl ligand, {{[eta(7)-Me2Si(C13H9)(C2B10H11)](2)Yb-III}(2)Yb-II}{Na-8(THF)(20)}, ORGANOMETAL, 20(18), 2001, pp. 3842-3844
The first full-sandwich lanthanacarborane containing an eta (7)-carboranyl
ligand was prepared and structurally characterized, which indicates that th
e arachno-carboranyl ligand can effectively stabilize the high oxidation st
ate of the metal.
