Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl complexes of Sm(II), Eu(II) and Yb(II) have been prepared and characterized after 1980. Red bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) europium(II) complexes with one coordinated THF or one THF and one Et20 are isolated from the reactions of europium trichloride and sodium pentamethylcyclo-pentadienide in refluxing tetrahydrofuran and crystallization from toluene or ether (Tilley et al., 1980). Red diamagnetic bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)ytterbium(II) coordinated with THF or Et20 are formed in the analogous reaction, but using YbCl 2 as the starting material.
