Abstract:
The migration of Me3Si groups ("Wanderlust") in rare-earth triple-decker sandwich complexes of the type Ln2(COT'')3 (COT'' = bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclooctatetraenyl) has been elucidated by a combined experimental and computational study. For the first time, two isomers of a Ln2(COT'')3 triple-decker have been isolated and characterized in the case of Y2(COT'')3.
