Abstract
A series of solvated complexes: [(C8H8)Ln(C5Me4R)(DME)] Ln = La, R = −Me; (La-2) Ln = Ce, R = −Me, −SiMe3, −H; (Ce-2, Ce-3, Ce-4), [(dbCOT)Ln(C5Me5)(DME)] (Ln-6), (dbCOT2– = dibenzocyclooctadienide; Ln = Ce, La), [(dbCOT)Ce(C5Me4H)(DME)] (Ce-7) and [(hdcCOT)Ce(C5Me5)(DME)] (Ce-8) (hdcCOT2– = hexahydrodicyclopentacyclooctatetraenide) and base-free mixed-sandwich complexes [(C8H8)Ce(C5Me5)] (Ce-9), [(C8H8)Ce(C5Me4H) (Ce-10) and [(hdcCOT)Ce(C5Me5)] (Ce-11) of the early lanthanide metals cerium and lanthanum comprising variable cyclopentadienide (Cp–) and cyclooctatetraenide (COT2–) ligands is described. To evaluate the effect of cyclopentadienide and cyclooctatetraenide ligands on the characteristics of these complexes, their solid-state structural, electrochemical, and photophysical properties were studied and accompanied by theoretical calculations. To further evaluate the effect of ligands on the topology of the complexes and the reducing properties of the complexes, syntheses of several base-free congeners were pursued, which led to isolation of the first base-free monomeric and polymeric Ce(III) mixed-sandwich compounds.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Chemistry publishes fundamental studies in all phases of inorganic chemistry. Coverage includes experimental and theoretical reports on quantitative studies of structure and thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms of inorganic reactions, bioinorganic chemistry, and relevant aspects of organometallic chemistry, solid-state phenomena, and chemical bonding theory. Emphasis is placed on the synthesis, structure, thermodynamics, reactivity, spectroscopy, and bonding properties of significant new and known compounds.
