Lanthanide(iii) 2-naphthoxide complexes stabilized by interligand non-covalent interactions

摘要

Lithium-lanthanide-2-naphthoxide complexes are found to have solvent dependent solution structures, related monomeric/dimeric solid state structures. The incorporation of tetramethylguanidium cations into lanthanide 2-naphthoxide complexes stabilizes a complex structure both in solution, the solid state through bridging hydrogen bonds between the 2-naphthoxide ligands.
