Di-μ-hydroxido-κ4 O:O-μ-trifluoro­methane­sulfonato-κ2 O:O′-bis­[(5,5′-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridine-κ2 N,N′)(η5-penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dien­yl)ytterbium(III)] tetra­phenyl­borate 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridine

摘要

The title compound, [Yb2(CF3O3S)(C10H15)2(OH)2(C12H12N2)2](C24H20B)·C12H12N2, crystallizes as a half-sandwich complex with a bridging trifluoro­methane­sulfonate as well as two bridging hydroxide groups. The bound bipyridine ligands have N—C—C—N torsion angles of 13.1 (9) and −12.1 (8)°. The structure also contains an uncoordinated 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine molecule with an N—C—C—N torsion angle of 169.5 (7)°. The triply bridged Yb centers are 3.5990 (4) Å apart. The Yb—N bond lengths are in the range 2.389 (6)–2.424 (5) Å.
