Synthesis and crystal structure of the first lanthanide complex of N-confused porphyrin with an η2 agostic C–H interaction†
Abstract
The reaction of Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3·[LiCl(THF)3]x
(Ln = Yb and Er) with N-confused O)(OMe)2]) gives (NCTPP)Ln(LOMe), whose X-ray structures exhibit an η2 agostic interaction between the metal centre and the inner C–H bond of the NCTPP
