SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF [(η~5-C_5H_5)_2NdCl·OC_4H_8]_2

All attempts to prepare light lanthanide dicyclopeutadienyt chloride failed,due to the disproportionation reaction. The crystal complex of [(η~5-C_5H_5)_2NdCl.OC_4H_8]_2 was successfully prepared by the reaction of NdCl_3·2C_4H_8O with cyclopentadienyl sodium (molar ratio 1:1.8)in tetrahydrofuran at room temperatureThe composition of the title compound was determined by the methods of elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy. The crystal structure of [(η~5-C_5H_5)_2NdCl·OC_4H_8]_2 was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction. Data were collected at-60℃ under dry nitrogen atmosphere.The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2_1/c,with Z=2. Lattice parameters are: a=8.201(3), b=21.589(6),c=8.596(3),β=109.10(3)°.The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier techniques and refined by least-squares to a final conventional R=0.0636 for 1680 reflections. There are two Nd atoms in the dimeric unit which are bridged asymmetrically by the two chlori
