DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.0c00503
Abstract: Here we report stable p-quinone-radical-bridged rare-earth complexes involving the ligand tetramethylquinone (QMe4•-). The complexes, {Y[(QMe4)•-Cl2(THF)3]}2 (1) and {Gd[(QMe4)•-Cl2(THF)3]}2 (2), where THF = tetrahydrofuran, are sufficiently stable that we can measure the single-crystal structures and perform… read more here.
