Heteroleptic t-Butyl Lanthanoid Complexes: Synthesis and X-Ray Crystal Structure of Monomeric Bis(cyclopentadienyl)(t-butyl)lutetium Tetrahydrofuranate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39810000292

(C5H5)2Lu(Bu^t), synthesized from <(C5H5)2LuCl>2 and Bu^tLi in pentane-tetrahydrofuran at -78 deg C, crystallizes from toluene as a monomeric tetrahydrofuran solvate which contains a 2.37 Angstroem Lu-C ? bond and a short (2.31 Angstroem) Lu-O distance; the analogous erbium complex is prepared similarly but, in the ytterbium case, the reaction generates (C5H5)2Yb.
