The reactions of Ln(hfacac){sub 3} with the bdmapH ligand and Cu(OCH{sub 3}){sub 2} or Cu{sub 2}(O{sub 2}CCH{sub 3}){sub 4}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2} have been investigated where hfacac = hexafluoroacetylacetonato, bdmapH = 1,3-bis(dimethylamino)-2-propanol. The hfacac ligand in these reactions has been found to undergo decomposition or cycloaddition with 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,2-propanediol. Two dinuclear compounds, Ln{sub 2}(hfacac){sub 4}(bdmap){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}(THF){sub 2}, (1, Ln = Pr) and LnCu(bdmapH){sub 2}-(hfacac){sub 2}(O{sub 2}CCF{sub 3})L (Ln = Pr, 2a; Y, 2b; L = 2-methyl-2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diolato), have been isolated from the reaction of Ln(hfacac){sub 3} with Cu(OCH{sub 3}){sub 2} and bdmapH in a 1:1:2 ratio in THF. These two compounds also were obtained by independent syntheses. A trinuclear compound, LnCu{sub 2}(hfacac)(bdmap){sub 3}(O{sub 2}-CCH{sub 3}){sub 2}(O{sub 2}CCF{sub 3})(hfacacH) (Ln = Nd, 3a; Pr, 3b), was obtained from the reaction of Ln(hfacac){sub 3} with Cu{sub 2}(O{sub 2}-CCH{sub 3}){sub 4}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2} and bdmapH in a 1:1:3 ratio in THF. The crystal structures of these compounds have been determined by X-ray diffraction analyses. Their thermal behavior has been examined by thermogravimetric analysis. The magnetic properties of compounds 1, 2b, and 3b were examined by EPR and magnetic susceptibility measurements.
