The Cp{sup *}{sub 2} Yb(L) class of compounds, where Cp{sup *}=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl = C{sub 5}Me{sub 5} and L is either a 1,4-diazabutadiene or bipy = 2,2'bipyridine related ligand, have provided excellent analogies to the Kondo state on the nanoscale. Cp{sup *}{sub 2} Yb(4,4'-Me{sub 2}-bipy) furthers this analogy by demonstrating a valence transition as the sample is cooled below 200 K. Here, pair-distribution function (PDF) analysis of x-ray powder diffraction data demonstrate that the Cp{sup *}{sub 2}Yb(4,4'Me{sub 2}-bipy) molecule is virtually unchanged through the valence transition. However, the molecule’s stacking arrangement is altered through the valence transition.
