Reaction of divalent (Ph2N)2Sm(THF)4 with 1 equiv, of azobenzene in THF and then crystallization of the product in DME-Et2O mixed solvent produced the complex of [(PhEN)(DME)Sm]E(μ-η^2:η^2-N2Ph2)2 (1) in 65.0% yiel...Reaction of divalent (Ph2N)2Sm(THF)4 with 1 equiv, of azobenzene in THF and then crystallization of the product in DME-Et2O mixed solvent produced the complex of [(PhEN)(DME)Sm]E(μ-η^2:η^2-N2Ph2)2 (1) in 65.0% yield. In complex 1, azobenzene molecules were reduced to be dianionic Ph2N2^2- ligands, bridging two samarium ions in two η^2:η^2 fashions. One samarium ion was bonded to a DME molecule and a diphenyl amido ligand besides two Ph2N2^2- ligands. The unusual Ln-η^2-arene close interaction was found for the first time for diphenyl amido lanthanides. Complex 1 could catalyze the polymerization of methyl methacrylate and展开更多
