Title: Tetraphenylpentalenide organolanthanide complexes

Journal Article · · ChemComm
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/D4CC02570A · OSTI ID:2434055

Lanthanide sandwiches of the D 2h 1,3,4,6-tetraphenylpentalenide are reported. The Ph 4 Pn dianion shows promise for new electron-rich f-block organometallics using the metal's d z 2 orbital, in contrast to the more widely used cyclooctatetraenyl dianion.
