Anhydrous SmCl3 reacts with two equal of Li(1,3-tBu2C5 H3)to give a complex(1,3-tBu2C5H3)2Sm(μ-Cl)2Li(THF)2(C34 H58Cl2LiO2Sm,Mr=726.99),monoclinic,space group
The complex Zn(Mept)2 (Mept=Bis(3-methyl-oxopyridine-2-thionato))was obtained by the reaction of MeHpt with ZnSO4 in ethanol. A single crystal X-ray study shows
