Monocyclooctatetraenyl(thiolato)samarium(III) complexes from the reaction of metallic samarium with cyclooctatetraene and diaryldisulfide: crystal structures of [Sm(µ-SPh)(C8H8)(thf)2]2and [{Sm[µ-S(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)(C8H8)(thf)}2]

Abstract
Metallic samarium reacts directly with Cyclooctatetraene in the presence of diaryldisulfide to give cyclooctatetraenyl(thiolato)samarium(III) complexes, {Sm(µ-SAr)(C8H8)(thf)n]2(thf = tetrahydrofuran)(1, Ar = C6H5, n= 2; 2, Ar = 2,4,6-Me3-C6H2, n= 2; 3, Ar = 2,4,6-(Pri)3-C6H2, n= 1), the structures of which are confirmed by single crystal X-ray analyses of 1 and 3, while Yb reacts with diphenyldisulfide in thf to afford [Yb(SPh)2(thf)]n.
