Synthesis of arena-soluble dizirconium nonaisopropoxide lanthanide cations involving divalent ytterbium
The di-zirconium-nona-isopropoxide (dzni) ligand allows preparation of arene-soluble cationic complexes acontaining divalent lanthanide such as the {(dzni)Yb(THF)(2)}(+) cation shown here. The unsolvated an {(dzni)Yb}(+), can also be prepared. [GRAPHICS]
