Polynuclear germanylmercury complexes of lanthanides

Conclusions The transmetallation of (C₆F₅)₃Ge]₂Hg with metallic praseodymium, neodymium, and holmium yielded complexes (C₆F₅)₃Ge]₇Hg₂Ln·3DME (DME is dimethoxyethane), for which the ionic structure {(C₆F₅)₃Ge]₇Hg₂}^3–Ln³⁺·3DME was proposed on the basis of electrical conductivity and chemical properties.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2589–2594, November, 1981.The authors thank O.
