| Abstract: | Thioureato Brigded Binuclear Complexes of the Lanthanides Synthesis and Crystal Structure of {PhC(NPh)NC(S)NEt2}{Et2NC(S)NH}LnBr(thf)]2 (Ln = Gd, Sm) The reaction of potassium-N-(diethylaminothiocarbonyl)-N′-phenyl-benzamidinat with LnBr3 (Ln = Gd, Sm) leads to the formation of the binuclear complexes {PhC(NPh)NC(S)NEt2}{Et2NC(S)N}LnBr(thf)]2} (Ln = Gd 1 , Sm 2 ). The two bridging thiureatoligands are probably built during the reaction of potassium with the starting ligand. Coordination by one N-(diethylaminothiocarbonyl)-N′-phenylbenzamidinato-ligand, one Br-ion and one THF-ligand leads to square antiprismatic coordination of the lanthanoids. The structures of both compounds were characterized by X-ray analysis ( 1 : P1 (Nr.2), Z = 1, a = 12,006(4) Å, b = 12,245(4) Å, c = 13,612(3) Å, α = 70,55(3)°, β = 68,21(3)°, γ = 81,31(3)° 2 : P1 (Nr.2), Z = 1, a = 11,803(3) Å, b = 12,344(5) Å, c = 12,797(8) Å, α = 103,07(5)°, β = 101,76(3)°, γ = 114,13(3)°) |
