| Abstract: | SmCl3 reacts with Me3SiCH2Li in THF yielding Sm(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)3 ( 1 ). The single crystal X‐ray structural analyses of 1 , Er(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 ( 2 ), Yb(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 ( 3 ), and Lu(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 ( 4 ) show the Sm atom in a fac‐octahedral coordination and the heavier lanthanides Er, Yb, and Lu trigonal bipyramidally coordinated with the three alkyl ligands in equatorial and two THF molecules in axial positions. |
