The first isolation and structural analysis of chalcogenocarboxylato samarium complexes, [(RCOS)3Sm(thf)2] and [Na(thf)4] [Sm(RCSS)4]; the alkali metal salt-like reaction and the insertion reaction of imine to the Sm-S bond

The first chalcogenocarboxylato lanthanid complexes, [(RCOS)₃Sm(thf)₂] and [Na(thf)₄][Sm(RCSS)₄](R=4-MeC₆H₄) were isolated and characterized crystallographically. They exhibit an alkali metal salt-like reaction such as S-esterification and an insertion reaction of C=N to the Sm-S bond.
