[η⁵-2,3-Bis(trimethylsilyl)-2,3-dicarba-nido-hexaborane(2−)]chlorido(N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine)dysprosium(III)

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, [Dy(C8H22B4Si2)Cl(C6H16N2)], reveals that a center of symmetry exists within the dimeric half-sandwich units. Within each half-sandwich, the DyIII ion is coordinated by the five-membered ring of the carborane, tetramethylethyl­enediamine and the chloride ion.
