Abstract

[Cp2Ln(μ-OH)(THF)]2 react with 2 equiv of CyNCNCy (Cy = cyclohexyl) to form [Cp2Ln(μ-OC(NHCy)NCy)]2 (Ln = Er (1-Er), Y (1-Y)), while treatment of [Cp2Ln(μ-OH)] 23-O)LnCp(THF) with CyNCNCy affords the addition/rearrangement products [Cp2Ln(μ3-O)(μ- OC(NHCy)NCy)LnCp]2 (Ln = Yb (3-Yb), Er (3-Er)). Compounds [(Cp 2Ln)23-CO3)(THF)]2 (Ln = Yb (4-Yb), Er (4-Er)) can be obtained by treatment of [Cp 2Ln(μ-OH)(THF)]2 with CO2 immediately followed by the reaction with the corresponding Cp3Ln. Complexes 1-4 were characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic properties and X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis.
