Synthetic and structural studies of the cyclopentadienyl-free yttrium alkyl alkoxide and aryloxide complexes [(Me{sub 3}Si){sub 2}CH]{sub 2}Y({mu}-OCMe{sub 3}){sub 2}Li(THF) and [Me{sub 3}SiCH{sub 2}]{sub 2}Y(OC{sub 6}H{sub 3}{sup t}Bu{sub 2}-2,6)(THF){sub 2}

YCL{sub 3} reacts with 2 equiv of LiCH(SiMe{sub 3}){sub 2} and 2 equiv of LiOCMe{sub 3} in THF to form the dialkyl dialkoxide complex [(Me{sub 3}Si){sub 2}CH]{sub 2}Y({mu}-OCMe{sub 3}){sub 2}Li(THF), 1. The yttrium in 1 is surrounded by a distorted tetrahedral arrangement of two terminal alkyl groups and two bridging alkoxide groups, and the coordination around lithium is trigonal planar. The reaction of YCl{sub 3} with 2 equiv of LiCH{sub 2}SiMe{sub 3} and 1 equiv of LiOC{sub 6}H{sub 3}{sup t}Bu{sub 2}-2,6 in THF forms the neutral dialkyl aryloxide complex (Me{sub 3}SiCH{sub 2}){sub 2}Y(OC{sub 6}H{sub 3}{sup t}Bu{sub 2}-2,6)(THF){sub 2} 2. The coordination geometry around yttrium in 2 is a distorted trigonal dipyramid with the THF groups in the apical positions. 61 refs., 2 figs., 3 tabs.
