Abstract

Six new ethylthioethylcyclopentadienyl containing organolanthanide complexes Cpurn:x-wiley:1001604X:media:CJOC20040220912:tex2gif-stack-2LnCl [Ln=Gd (1), Dy (2)] and Cp2LnCpTh [Cp=C5H5, Ln=Yb (3), Sm (4), Dy (5), Y (6)] were synthesized by the reaction of ethylthioethyl-cyclopentadienyl (CpTh) sodium salt with LnCl3 or Cp2LnCl in THF. Complexes 1–6 were characterized by elemental analyses, infrared and mass spectroscopies. The molecular structures of complexes 1–3 were also determined by the X-ray single crystal diffraction. The results show that the side-chain sulfur atom on the ethylthioethylcyclopentadienyl ring can form intramolecular chelating coordination to the central lanthanide ion, improving the stability of organolanthanide complexes and reducing the number of coordinated THF molecules.
