aG. A. RazuvaevReaction of Sm(bpy) 4 (bpy is 2,2"-bipyridyl) with di-tert-butyldiazabutadiene (dad) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) affords the mixed-ligand complex Sm(dad)2(bpy) (1). Complex I was isolated as black paramagnetic crystals readily soluble in THF. 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DIME), toluene, and ether. Compound I was characterized by IR and ESR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and by the results of magnetic measurements. Based on the difference between the Sm--N bond lengths and on the data of IR spectroscopy, the following formal charge distribution in the molecule of complex I was proposed: Sm3+(dad)2-(dad)l-(bpy) ~
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
