title: Construction of polymeric and oligomeric lanthanide(III) thiolates from preformed complexes [(TMS)2N]3Ln(mu-Cl)Li(THF)3 (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm; (TMS)2N = Bis(trimethylsilyl)amide).
abstract: The complex [{(TMS)2N}4(mu4-Cl)Sm4(mu-SPh)4(mu3-Cl)Li(THF)] has been formed by protonolysis of [(Me3Si)2N]3Sm(mu-Cl)Li(THF)3 with 1 equiv of HSPh, which contains a square array of Sm(III) ions connected by a central mu4-Cl ligand. The edges of the square Sm4 array are bridged by four mu3-Cl and four mu-SPh ligands. The four Sm atoms and Li atom are connected by four mu3-Cl ligands.
