摘要:
                                Bis(tetraisopropylcyclopentadienyl) chlorides of lanthanum (1) or neodymium (2) can be easily obtained in good yields from the respective trichlorides and sodium tetraisopropylcyclopentadienide. Both contain one equivalent of coordinated sodium chloride, for 2 a dimer [{(C5HR4)(2)Nd (mu -Cl)(mu (3)- Cl)Na(OEt2)}(2)] (R = CHMe2) with a folded sheet structure has been established by X-ray crystal structure analysis. From sodium tetraisopropylcyclopentadienide and ytterbium trichloride or upon oxidation of octaisopropylytterbocene with hexachloroethane the mono-ring complex [(C5HR4)YbCl2] (3) (R = CHMc(2)) has been obtained, which could be crystallographically characterized as monomeric dimethoxyethane adduct [(C5HR4)YbCl2(DME)].
