Abstract

The interaction of Yb(NPh₂)₂Cl with one equivalent of Li[(CH₂) (CH₂)PPh₂] in tetrahydrofuran gave the unexpected dark red complex [Li(C₄H₈O)₄][Yb(NPh₂)₄] (1) in 30% yield. An X-ray diffraction study reveals that the lanthanide-amide ate complex is composed of a discrete cation [Li(C₄H₈O)₄]⁺ and a discrete homoleptic tetrahedral Yb-amide anion [Yb(NPh₂)₄]^-.
