Samarium(II) Surrounded by Only Oxygen Donor Ligands - (Ksm(Mu-Oc(6)H(2)Bu(2)(T)-2,6-Me-4)(3)(THF))(N)
Although oxygen donor ligands are common in lanthanide chemistry and Sm(II) complexes are being extensively investigated, no crystallographically characterized Sm(II) complexes containing only oxygen donor ligands have been previously reported. The first example shown here has been isolated as a potassium "ate" complex which has an extended structure due to potassium arene and aryloxide bridging.
