SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF ([(C5H9C5H4)ER(THF)]2(MU-2-CL)3(MU-3-CL)2NA(THF)2).THF

The reaction of ErCl3 with one equivalent of C5H9C5H4Na generates the complex {[(C5H9C5H4)Er(THF)]2(mu2-Cl)3(mu3-Cl)2Na(THF)2}.THF, which crystallizes from hexane/THF. The X-ray crystal structure determination shows that each erbium is surrounded by one C5H9C5H4 ligand, two mu3-Cl, two mu2-Cl and one THF in a distorted octahedral arrangement.
