title: Isolation and Spontaneous Resolution of Eight-Coordinate Stereoisomers.
abstract: The right- and left-handed propeller-shaped enantiomers of the eight-coordinate SmI(2) complexes shown can be resolved by crystallization from dimethoxyethane (dme) at ambient temperature. Apart from representing a new type of chiral metal complex, such enantiomers are potential reagents for enantioselective reductions.
