title: Tris
abstract: In the title complex, [Sm(C(9)H(9)F(5)NSi)(3)(C(4)H(8)O)], the Sm metal center is coordinated in a highly distorted tetrahedral geometry by the three N atoms of the amido ligands and by the O atom of the tetrahydrofuran ligand. Principal bond lengths include: Sm-N 2.299 (4), 2.339 (4) and 2.366 (4) A, and Sm-O 2.446 (3) A, close Sm. F contacts of 2.536 (3) and 2.556 (3) A, and an 'agostic' Sm.C interaction of 3.154 (4) A.
