Cerium masquerading as a group 4 element: synthesis, structure and computational characterisation of [CeCl(N(SiMe3)2)3].
Oxidation of the three-coordinate cerium amide [Ce(N-(SiMe3)2)3] with TeCl4 in toluene solution yields purple, diamagnetic [CeCl(N(SiMe3)2)3], whose structure has been examined by X-ray crystallographic and computational methods.
