Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of cyclooctatetraenyllanthanide alkyl complexes [Li(thf)2{µ-(η28-C8H8)}Ln{CH(SiMe3)2}2](Ln = Y, Sm, Lu; thf = tetrahydrofuran)

Abstract
The metathetic reaction [Ln(η8-C8H8)(µ-Cl(thf)]2(Ln = Y, Sm, Lu) with LiCH(SiMe3)2results in the formation of the Cyclooctatetraenyllanthanide alkyl complexes [Li(thf)2{µ-+(η28-C8H8)} Ln{CH (SiMe 3)2}2](Ln = Y1a, Sm1b, Lu1c); 1b has been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography.
