This paper reports two lanthanide complexes of formula (C_9H_7)Ln(C_8H_8)·(THF)_2 whereLn is Pr or Nd,C_9H_7 is indenyl,and C_8H_8 is cyclooctatetraene (COT).The complexes were preparedby the reaction of LnCl_3 with K(C_9H_7) and K_2(C_8H_8) in THF.(C_9H_7)Pr(C_8H_8)·(THF)_2 crystallizes inTHF at - 15℃ in the monoclinic space group P2_1:with unit cell dimensions a=8.446(0),b=10.083(2),c=13.407(3),β=105.48(1)°,V=1100.43(35)~3,Dc=1.52g/cm~3 and Z=2.The final R valueis 0.033,R_w value is 0.030,respectively.In (C_9H_7)Pr(C_8H_8)·(THF)_2 a five-membered ring centroid ofC_9H_7,the C_8H_8 ring centroid and the two oxygen atoms from the two THF molecules form a distortedtetrahedral geometry around the metal.     

Preparation and crystal structure of the Isotypic Carbides Ln4Ni2C5 (Ln = Er,Tm, Yb and Lu)

The title compounds were prepared from the elemental components in a lithium flux. Their crystal structure was determined for the ytterbium compound from single-crystal X-ray data. It is orthorhombic, Pmm2, a = 352.88(6) pm, b = 1 143.0(3) pm, c = 366.16(6) pm, Z = 1, R = 0.020 for 1 261 structure factors and 29 variable parameters. The structure may be viewed as an intergrowth of slabs consisting of the CeNiC₂ and the ScC (NaCl type) structures. It thus contains C₂ pairs with a C? C distance of 138(1) pm and isolated carbon atoms. Together with the nickel atoms the C₂ pairs form one-dimensionally infinite building elements [Ni₂C₄]_n. The fifth carbon atom is octahedrally coordinated by ytterbium atoms. Accordingly the compound may be rationalized to a first approximation with the formula (Yb³⁺)₄[Ni₂C₄^8?]C^4?. Yb₄Ni₂C₅ shows Curie-Weiss behaviour with a magnetic moment of μ_exp = 4.44 μ_B per ytterbium atom in good agreement with the theoretical moment of μ_eff = 4.53 μ_B for Yb³⁺.

[(C₆H₅CH₂C₅H₄)₂GdCl.THF]₂ (1) and (C₆H₅CH₂C₅H₄)₂ErCl.THF (2) were prepared by the reaction of LnCl₃ (Ln? Gd, Er) with benzylcyclopentadienyl sodium in THF and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS and thermal gravimetry. The crystal structures of both compounds were determined. Complex 1 is dimeric and its structure belongs to the monoclinic, P2₁/c space group with a=1.1432(2), b=1.2978(2), c=1.7604(3) nm, β=108.75(2), V=2.4732(9) nm³, Z=2(four monomers), D_c“1.54 g.cm^?3. R=0.0342 and R_w“0.0362. Complex 2 is monomer and its structure belongs to the orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁ space group with a=0.8645(2), b=1.1394(3), c=2.5289(4) nm, V=2.4919(9) nm³, Z=4, D_c“1.56 g.cm^?3. R=0.0514, R_w“0.0529. The determination of the crystal structure shows that in complex 1 the benzyl groups on the cyclopentadienyls coordinated to Gd³⁺ are located in the opposite direction (139°); in complex 2 the benzyl groups on the cyclopentadienyls coordinated to Er³⁺ are located in the same direction (6.5°).

Complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, mass spectros- copy and X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. Both complexes are of monoclinic with space group P21/c, formula C52H94S2Si4Y2 1 (C52H94S2Si4Er2 2) Mr = 1073.57 (1230.27), a = 8.495(2) (8.41(2)), b = 26.913(8) (26.67(7)), c = 13.756(4) (13.68(4)) (A), α = 90(90), β = 101.184(5) (101.57(4)), γ = 90 (90)°, V = 3085.1(15) (3007(14))(A)3, Dc = 1.156 (1.359) g·cm-3, Z = 2 (2), F(000) = 1144 (1260), μ = 2.046 (2.951) cm-1, R = 0.0687 (0.0749) and wR = 0.1306 (0.1507) for observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). X-ray structures of 1 and 2 definitively prove that only one sulfur atom is inserted into the Ln-C(nBu) bond, forming a thiolate ligand.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of [Ln(4-Pyta)3(H2O)2] n (Ln = Nd,Ce, Eu,Gd; 4-Pyta = 4-pyridylthioacetate)

Four new lanthanide complexes, [Nd(4-Pyta)₃(H₂O)₂] _n (1), [Ce(4-Pyta)₃(H₂O)₂] _n (2), [Eu(4-Pyta)₃(H₂O)₂] _n (3) and [Gd(4-Pyta)₃(H₂O)₂] _n (4), have been obtained from reaction of lanthanide(III) nitrate with 4-Pyta (4-pyridylthioacetate) in water. Their structures were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals belong to triclinic, space group P 1 and all complexes exhibit one-dimensional chains that arrange to form a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture by hydrogen bonds between the chains.     

Syntheses,Structures and Band Gaps of KLnSiS4 （Ln = Sm,Yb）

Two new quaternary sulfides, KSmSiS4 （1） and KYbSiS4 （2）, have been synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction. Single,crystal X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that both compounds crystallize in the space group P21/m, and the crystal data are as follows： a = 6.426（11）, b = 6.582（11）, c = 8.602（15）A, β= 107.90（13）°, Z = 2, V= 346.2（10） A^3, Dc = 3.317 g/cm^3, F（000） = 318,μ（MoKα） = 10.334 mm^-1, the final R = 0.0559 and wR = 0.1370 for 1; and α= 6.3244（10）, b = 6.5552（10）, c = 8.5701（15）A, β= 108.001（13）°, Z = 2, V = 337.91（9） A^3, De= 3.621 g/cm^3, F（000） = 334, μ（MoKα） = 15.737 mm^-1, the final R = 0.0422 and wR = 0.0960 for 2. The KLnSiS4 （Ln = Sm, Yb） structure consists of corrugated ∞^2 [LnSiS4]^- layers which are formed by edge-sharing LnS8 bicapped trigonal prisms and SiS4 tetrahedra. The K^＋ cations are located in the cavities defined by S2 anions between the ∞^2[LnSiS4]^- layers. Band-gap analyses show that compounds 1 and 2 are semiconductors with optical band-gaps of 2.40 and 2.34 eV, respectively.     

Coordination polyhedra LnCl n (Ln = La-Lu) in crystal structures

The Voronoi-Dirichlet polyhedra (VDP) and the method of intersecting spheres were used to analyze 125 compounds containing 182 crystallographically nonequivalent sorts of LnCl _n complexes (Ln = La-Lu). The lanthanum C.N. varies from 6 to 10; eight sorts of coordination polyhedra are encountered in the structures, the Ln-Cl bond lengths in which can vary by 0.1–0.8 Å, depending on the C.N.(Ln). Despite the great diversity of C.N. and large scatter of bond lengths, the volume of the VDP was found to depend only on the nature of the Ln atom and its valence state     

BaLn2Se4 (Ln = Er,Tm and Yb)

The compounds BaLn₂Se₄ (Ln = rare‐earth metal = lanthanide = Er, Tm and Yb), namely barium di(erbium/thulium/ytterbium) tetraselenide, crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pnma in the CaFe₂O₄ structure type. In this structure type, all atoms possess m symmetry. The Ln atoms are octahedrally coordinated by six Se atoms. A three‐dimensional channel structure is formed by the corner‐ and edge‐sharing of these LnSe₆ octahedra. The Ba atoms are coordinated to eight Se atoms in a bicapped trigonal–prismatic arrangement, and they occupy the channels of the three‐dimensional framework.

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a series of polymeric lanthanoid–copper complexes [Ln2Cu3{O(CH2−CO2)2}6]·nH2O (Ln=La,Nd, n=9; Ln=Er,n=6)

The reaction of diglycolic acid, O(CH2CO2H)2, with Cu(NO3)2·2H2O and lanthanoid nitrate hydrate produces a series of novel Ln–Cu mixed metal complexes, [Ln2Cu3{O(CH2CO2)2}6]·nH2O (Ln=La, Nd, n=9; Ln=Er, n=6), which have been characterized by elemental analysis, i.r. spectroscopy, magnetic measurements and X-ray crystallography. The Ln3+ and Cu2+ ions are connected by the carboxylate groups of the ligands, resulting in the formation of a complicated network.     

Activation of SO2 with [(η5‐C5Me5)2Ln(THF)2] (Ln=Eu,Yb) Leading to Dithionite and Sulfinate Complexes

The reaction of decamethylytterbocene [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)₂Yb(THF)₂] with SO₂ at low temperature gave two new compounds, namely, the Yb^III dithionite/sulfinate complex [{(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)₂Yb(μ₃,1κ²O^1,3,2κ³O^2,2′,4‐S₂O₄)}₂{(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)Yb(μ,1κO,2κO′‐C₅Me₅SO₂)}₂] ( 1 ) and the Yb^III dithionite complex [{(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)₂Yb}₂(μ,1κ²O^1,3,2κ²O^2,4‐S₂O₄)] ( 2 ). After extraction of 1 , the mixture was heated to give the dinuclear tetrasulfinate complex [{(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)Yb}₂(μ,κO,κO’‐C₅Me₅SO₂)₄] ( 3 a ). In contrast, from the reaction of [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)₂Eu(THF)₂] with SO₂ only the tetrasulfinate complex [{(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)Eu}₂(μ,κO,κO’‐C₅Me₅SO₂)₄] ( 3 b ) was isolated. Two major reaction pathways were observed: 1) reductive coupling of two SO₂ molecules to form the dithionite anion S₂O₄^2?; and 2) nucleophilic attack of one metallocene C₅Me₅ ligand on the sulfur atom of SO₂. The compounds presented are the first dithionite and sulfinate complexes of the f‐elements.

Crystal Structures of [LiNPPh₃]₆, [Ln(C₈H₈)Li₃Cl₂(NPPh₃)₂(THF)₃] (Ln = Ce, Sm) and [Li(THF)₄][Sm(C₈H₈)₂] LiNPPh₃ reacts with the cyclooctatetraenide complexes [Ln(C₈H₈)Cl(THF)₂]₂ of cerium and samarium in tetrahydrofuran solution forming the phosphorane iminato complexes [Ln(C₈H₈)Li₃Cl₂(NPPh₃)₂(THF)₃]. According to crystal structure analyses these complexes show heterocubane structures under participation of the lanthanoid metal atom, of the three Li atoms as well as of the two Cl und the two N atoms of the NPPh₃^– groups. The crystal structure of LiNPPh₃ shows hexameric molecules with a Li₆N₆ polyhedron which is peripherally shielded by the phenyl groups. The structure of [Li(THF)₄][Sm(C₈H₈)₂], which has been isolated as a by-product, contains the samarium atom in a sandwichlike coordination by the two η⁸-C₈H₈^2– rings as it is also known from the corresponding anions with cerium and neodymium.     

Two new groups of homoleptic rare earth pyridylbenzimidazolates: (NC12H8(NH)2)[Ln(N3C12H8)4] with Ln = Y,Tb, Yb,and [Ln(N3C12H8)2(N3C12H9)2][Ln(N3C12H8)4](N3C12H9)2 with Ln = La,Sm, Eu

The compounds (NC(12)H(8)(NH)(2))[Ln(N(3)C(12)H(8))(4)], Ln = Y, Tb, Yb, and [Ln(N(3)C(12)H(8))(2)(N(3)C(12)H(9))(2)][Ln(N(3)C(12)H(8))(4)](N(3)C(12)H(9))(2), with Ln = La, Sm, Eu, were obtained by reactions of the group 3 metals yttrium and lanthanum as well as the lanthanides europium, samarium, terbium, and ytterbium with 2-(2-pyridyl)-benzimidazole. The reactions were carried out in melts of the amine without any solvent and led to two new groups of homoleptic rare earth pyridylbenzimidazolates. The trivalent rare earth atoms have an eightfold nitrogen coordination of four chelating pyridylbenzimidazolates giving an ionic structure with either pyridylbenzimidazolium or [Ln(N(3)C(12)H(8))(2)(N(3)C(12)H(9))(2)](+) counterions. With Y, Eu, Sm, and Yb, single crystals were obtained whereas the La- and Tb-containing compounds were identified by powder methods. The products were investigated by X-ray single crystal or powder diffraction and MIR and far-IR spectroscopy, and with DTA/TG regarding their thermal behavior. They are another good proof of the value of solid-state reaction methods for the formation of homoleptic pnicogenides of the lanthanides. Despite their difference in the chemical formula, both types (NC(12)H(8)(NH)(2))[Ln(N(3)C(12)H(8))(4)], Ln = Y (1), Tb (2), Yb (3), and [Ln(N(3)C(12)H(8))(2)(N(3)C(12)H(9))(2)][Ln(N(3)C(12)H(8))(4)](N(3)C(12)H(9))(2), Ln = La (4), Sm (5), Eu (6), crystallize isotypic in the tetragonal space group I4(1).
