title: Di-mu-phenylthio-bis[bis(eta5-methyl-cyclopentadienyl)(tetrahydrofuran)-lanthanum(III)] bis(tetrahydrofuran) solvate.
abstract: The title complex, [La(2)(C(6)H(7))(4)(C(6)H(5)S)(2)(C(4)H(8)O)(2)].2C(4)H(8)O, is a centrosymmetric dimer bridged through the S atoms of the benzenethiolate ligands. The bridging La(2)S(2) unit is completely planar, while the geometry around the nine-coordinate La atom is that of a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The La-S-La and S-La-S angles are 117.51 (4) and 62.5 (1) degrees, respectively, and the average La-S bond length is 2.9759 A. The crystals contain two tetrahydrofuran solvate molecules for every complex molecule.
