Abstract

The complex {Cs-2[La(OAr)5]} (Ar = C6H3Pr2i-2,6), from LaCl3 or La-2(OAr)6 and CsOAr in tetrahydrofuran, has an unprecedented polymeric structure in which five-coordinate [La(OAr)(s)](2-) anions are bonded to caesium in a three- dimensional network solely by Ar-Cs pi bonds, whilst {Na[Nd(Odpp)(4)]} (dpp = C(6)H(3)Ph(2)-2,6), from NdCl3 and NaOdpp in 1,3,5-tri-tert-butylbenzene at 300 degrees C; has an unexpected monomeric structure with sodium bonded to three oxygens and encapsulated by three phenyl groups of [Nd(Odpp)(4)](-).
