Rare earth stibolyl and bismolyl sandwich complexes.

ABSTRACT: The design of molecular rare earth complexes to achieve unique magnetic and bonding properties is a growing area of research with possible applications in advanced materials and molecular magnetics. Recent efforts focus on developing ligand frameworks that can enhance magnetic characteristics. Here we show the synthesis and characterization of a class of rare earth complexes, [(η⁵-C₄R₄Sb)Ln(η⁸-C₈H₈)] and [(η⁵-C₄R₄Bi)Ln(η⁸-C₈H₈)], featuring η⁵-coordinated stibolyl and bismolyl ligands. The ligand aromaticity and bonding situation within these complexes are investigated by quantum chemical calculations. Magnetic studies of the Er^III analogu
