Unexpected dispersion-stabilized tris(terphenylthiolate) complexes, Ln(SAr i Pr6 ) 3 , arising from two-electron reduction by Ln(SAr i Pr6 ) 2 [Ar i Pr6 = C 6 H 3 -2,6-(C 6 H 2 -2,6,4- i Pr 3 ) 2 ]
Abstract
Attractive London dispersion effects were found to be responsible for ca. half of the dissociation energy of the thiolate ligands in the first examples of M(EAr i Pr6 ) 3 complexes of any metal with any donor [Ar i Pr6 = C 6 H 3 -2,6-(C 6 H 2 -2,4,6- i Pr 3 ) 2 ].
