The oxirane-ring opening of butyl glycidyl ether with cyclopentadienylsodium or indenylsodium afforded cyclopentadienyl- and indenyl-substituted alcohols RHCH2CH(OH)CH2OBun (R = C5H4 (1) or 3-C9H6 (2), respectively), which were used as tridentate ligands. The reactions of these compounds with Ln[N(SiMe3)(2)](3) produced the lanthanide complexes {[(eta(5)-R)CH2CH (mu(2):eta(1)-O)CH2OBun]Ln(SiMe3)(2)}(2) (R = C5H4, Ln = La (3), Pr (4), Er (5), Lu (6); or R = 1-C9H6, Ln = La (7)). The coordination spheres of the metal atoms in these complexes involve simultaneously the eta(5)-cyclopentadienyl (indenyl), bridging alkoxide, and terminal amide ligands. The complexes were characterized by microanalysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and magnetochemistry. The crystal and molecular structure of complex 3 was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

The synthesis and crystal structure of the tetranuclear Yb(II) half-sandwich complex [(eta(5)-C5H4)CH2CH(mu(3):eta(1)-O)CH2OB"]Yb}(4) (1) are presented. Redox transmetalation reaction of 1 with Me2Hg yields a methyl derivative of trivalent ytterbium, [(eta(5)-C5H4)CH2CH(eta(1)-O)CH2OBu"]YbMe(THF) (2). Complex 2 is shown to possess a low catalytic activity in propylene polymerization. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
