Divalent ytterbium complexes with crown and heterocrown ethers

Abstract

Several unusual complexes of ytterbium(II) stabilised by coordination to mixed O4X2-donor macrocyclic ligands (X = O, NH, S or Se) are described. Distorted 8-coordination is evident from the crystal structure of the neutral [YbI2([18]aneO4Se2)], forming the first reported example of Yb(II)-selenoether coordination.
