Reactions of SmCl_3 and YbCl_3 with LiNHAr (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) in dimethoxyethane (DME) or tetrahydrofuran (THF) produced (ArNH)(DME)_xSm=NAr, A, (ArNH)(THF)_xSm=NHAr, ((Me_3Si)_2N)(THF)_xYb=NAr, C, respectively. These complexes were characte...
Reactions of SmCl_3 and YbCl_3 with LiNHAr (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) in dimethoxyethane (DME) or tetrahydrofuran (THF) produced (ArNH)(DME)_xSm=NAr, A, (ArNH)(THF)_xSm=NHAr, ((Me_3Si)_2N)(THF)_xYb=NAr, C, respectively. These complexes were characterized by ^1H-NMR and FTIR spectroscopy.
