[NdI2(thf)5], the First Crystallographically Authenticated Neodymium(II) Complex

Abstract
Two new starting materials for a new chemistry of low-valent lanthanide compounds are the first crystallographically characterized molecular complexes of the rare Nd2+ ion, [NdI2(thf)5] (1), and [TmI2(thf)(dme)2] (2; dme=1,2-dimethoxyethane). These have a pentagonal-bipyramidal structure in which the two iodine atoms are in axial positions.
