Abstract :
The reaction of closo-exo-Li(TMEDA)-1-Li(TMEDA)-2,3-(SiMe3)2-2,3-C2B4H4 (1) and anhydrous CeCl3, in a molar ratio of 2:1, in dry benzene at 0 °C produced a novel Ce(III) bent-sandwich complex, [Li(TMEDA)2][1-Cl-1-(μ-Cl)-2,2′,3,3′-(SiMe3)4-5,6-[(μ-H)2Li(TMEDA)]-4,4′,5′-[(μ-H)3Li(TMEDA)]-1,1′-commo-Ce(2,3-C2B4H4)2] (2), as an orange crystalline solid in 91% yield, thus establishing a pattern of reactivity in the formation of lanthanacarboranes.
