Abstract

The 9-fluorenone (fn) ketyl in [Yb-III(DippForm)(2)(fn-O)] {DippForm = N,N-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)formamidinate}, underwent reduction to the dianion ({C13H8}-O) upon single electron transfer from (SmI2)-I-II(thf)(2). The dianion was obtained as a decanuclear, deca-9-fluorenolato, tetraoxido mixed-oxidation-state samarium cage [Sm10O4{(C13H8)-O}(10)(thf)(10)], obtained after ligand redistribution. The structure is relevant to the deoxygenation of ketones by lanthanoid metals.
