Heterobimetallic complexes containing Ca-Fe or Yb-Fe bonds: synthesis and molecular and electronic structures of [M{CpFe(CO)2}2(THF)3]2 (M = Ca or Yb).
Reaction of calcium or ytterbium amalgam with [CpFe(CO)(2)](2) (Fp(2)) gave the isostructural heavy alkaline earth or divalent rare earth compounds [MFp(2)(THF)(3)](2) (M = Ca or Yb) containing two direct Ca-Fe (3.0185(6) Å) or Yb-Fe (2.9892(4) Å) bonds. Density functional theory supports experiment...
