Reduction. of the tetranuclear dinitrogen cluster {[1,1-H10C6(alpha -C4H3N)
(2)]Sm}(4)(THF)(2)(mu -N-2) with Na sand in THF afforded the linear polymer
ic divalent Sm complex; {[1,1-H10C6(alpha -C4H3N)(2)](2)Sm[Na(THF)](2)}(n)
where each samarium atom is surrounded by four eta (5)-bonded pyrrolide rin
gs, thus giving the metal center a formal 30-electron configuration.
