Introducing Chlorido Cerium Complexes with the Methoxy Kläui Ligand [Co(η5-C5H5){P(O)(OMe)2}3]−

The treatment of Ce(OH)4 in thionyl chloride and dimethoxyethane (DME) resulted in the formation of a highly unstable red Ce(IV) complex with the composition [CeCl4(DME)2] (1). From the reaction of 1 with the Na[Co(η5-C5H5){P(O)(OMe)2}3] (NaLOMe) salt containing the anionic tripo...
