A series of rare earth (RE) chloride complexes bearing silanediamido ligands (LAryl)2– = Me2Si(NAryl)22– with bulky substituents, Aryl = mesityl (Mes), and 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (Dipp) was synthesized by salt metathesis reactions....
We report the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of the first rare earth complexes of metalloid group 14 clusters [(thf)2Ln(Ge9Hyp3)2] (Ln = Eu, Sm, Hyp = Si(SiMe3)3). X-ray crystallographic analysis...
