Abstract

A variety of benzyllanthanide complexes have been prepared by the metathesis reaction of benzylpotassium precursors with lanthanide halides. Syntheses and crystal structures for the following complexes are described: [2-MeN-α-MeSi-benzyl]Eu(II) ·(THF) (1-Eu), (2-MeN-benzyl)Ln(III) (2-Ln with Ln = Nd, Sm, Dy, Ho, Yb), (4-R-CHCH )Ln·(THF) (3-Y: Ln = Y, R = H; 3-La: Ln = La, R = tBu). Complexes of types 1 and 2 are thermally robust on account of a stabilization by a benzylic MeSi substituent and/or intramolecular coordination of the MeN substituent. Comparison of the crystal structures of these new series of lanthanide complexes shows several similarities and trends. In addition, comparisons with alkali metal and alkaline earth metal benzyl complexes are made. © 2008 Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung.
