摘要: The potassium cyclobutadienyl [K2{η4‐C4(SiMe3)4}] (1) reacts with MCl3(THF)3.5 (M = Y, Dy) to give the first rare‐earth complexes, i.e. complex anions [M{η4‐C4(SiMe3)4}{η4‐C4(SiMe3)3‐κ‐(CH2SiMe2}]2–, (2M), as their dipotassium salts. tuck‐in alkyl ligand in 2M is thought form through deprotonation of sandwich complexes [M{η4‐C4(SiMe3)4}2]– by 1. Complex 2Dy a single‐molecule magnet, but prominent quantum tunnelling. An anisotropy barrier 323(22) cm–1 was determined for an applied field 1 kOe, and S‐shaped magnetic hysteresis loops were observed up 7 K.
