A tris(alkyl)yttrium compound containing six β-agostic Si–H interactions

Abstract

The new homoleptic rare earth compound [Y(C(SiHMe2)3)3] (2) is prepared in 82% yield by salt metathesis of YCl3 and 3 equivalents of [KC(SiHMe2)3] (1); two β-agostic Y⋯(H–Si) interactions are observed for each C(SiHMe2)3 ligand in 2, giving six agostic interactions per yttrium(III) center.
