A facile access to rac ansa-lanthanocene alkyl complexes with an ether-bridged indenyl ligand and crystal structure of rac-[O(CH2CH2C9H6)2]YCH2SiMe3
Abstract
Pure rac ansa-lanthanocene alkyl complexes have been directly isolated and structurally characterized; they feature a rigid unsymmetric structure with the alkyl group paralleling the bridged indenyl planes.
