Synthesis and crystal structure of the first lanthanide complex of N-confused porphyrin with an η2 agostic C–H interaction

Abstract

The reaction of Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3·[LiCl(THF)3]x (Ln = Yb and Er) with N-confused tetraphenylporphyrin (H2NCTPP) followed by Na(LOMe) (LOMe = (η5-C5H5)Co[P([double bond, length as m-dash]O)(OMe)2]) gives (NCTPP)Ln(LOMe), whose X-ray structures exhibit an η2 agostic interaction between the metal centre and the inner C–H bond of the NCTPP ligand.
