The reaction of M(O2CMe)2·4H2O (M = Ni, Co) with NaN3 in pyridine/MeOH under microwave irradiation and controlled pressure/temperature leads to the formation of the trimetallic species [M3(N3)3(O2CMe)
The synthesis and structures of the first zwitterionic divalent rare-earth metal silanides of the formula [Si(SiMe2OMe)3-κ3]2M (M-3), where M = Eu, Yb, and Sm, are reported. M-3 compounds feature spi
The base-free divalent samarium complex Cptt2Sm (1; Cptt = 1,3-(tBu)2(C5H3)) has been synthesized in diethyl ether by salt metathesis of SmI2. Crystals of 1 suitable for X-ray study have been obtained
An imidazolidine–phenolate ligand HL yields quadruple-bridged (μ-NCNimidazolidine)2(μ-Ophenolate)2 ferromagnetic dinuclear nickel and cobalt complexes. Both kinds of bridges contribute to the ferromag
Whereas a number of homoleptic metal(III) tetramethylaluminates M(AlMe4)3 of the rare earth metals have proven accessible, the stability of these compounds varies strongly among the metals, with some
