Mono‐ and Dinuclear Heteroleptic Cobalt Complexes with α‐Diimine and Polyarene Ligands

“…These bond lengths are very close to those of the neutral naphthalene ligand in the anionic complex [(η 5 ‐Cp)V(C 10 H 8 )] − 15. 16 In comparison, the CC bond lengths of the coordinated arene unit in complexes that contain a dianionic naphthalene ligand, such as [CpV(C 10 H 8 )VCp],18 [CpLu(C 10 H 8 )(DME)],19 [(μ 2 ‐η 4 :η 4 ‐C 10 H 8 ){LaI 2 (THF) 3 } 2 ],20 and [Tm(DME) 2 (C 10 H 8 ) 3 ],21 show obvious long–short–long character. The naphthalene ligand in 3 is slightly bent, as in the anthracene ligand of complex 2 , with a fold angle of 14.0° at the central carbon atoms (C59 and C61) of the coordinating ring.…”

Advances in f element reductive reactivity as a paradigm for expanding lanthanide and actinide science and technology

“…However, for the next three years neither my lab nor the Bochkarev lab obtained any significant new reductive reactivity from this Tm 2+ complex [56,[58][59][60]61]. The intensely colored green compound reacted quickly with many substrates to give colorless Tm 3+ products, but TmI 3 was the only product readily identified.…”

Four‐Step Reduction of dpp‐bian with Sodium Metal: Crystal Structures of the Sodium Salts of the Mono‐, Di‐, Tri‐ and Tetraanions of dpp‐bian

“…The disproportionation process is dependent on the nature of both anion and cation. For instance, attempts of the exchange reaction between lithium naphthalenide, Li + (C 10 H 8 ) − and lanthanide halides in THF lead to the disproportionation of the radical anions of (C 10 H 8 ) − to the dianion (C 10 H 8 ) 2− and neutral naphthalene, affording solely lanthanide complexes with the naphthalene dianion 5b–e. Recently, Gambarotta, Budzelaar and co‐workers reported the formation and crystal structure of a trianion formed by reduction of α,α′‐diiminopyridine with lithium 7.…”
