Di-μ-iodido-bis-[(diethyl ether-κO)(η-1,3-di-tert-butyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)ytterbium(II)].

ABSTRACT: The half-sandwich title compound, [Yb(2)(C(13)H(21))(2)I(2)(C(4)H(10)O)(2)], crystallizes as a centrosymmetric dimer. The Yb atom is coordinated in a three-legged piano-stool geometry by a cyclo-penta-dienyl ring, two I anions and the O atom of a diethyl ether mol-ecule. The central Yb(2)I(2) core is an approximate square.
