The synthesis of a sterically hindered samarium(II) bis(amidinate) and conversion to its homoleptic trivalent congener.
The first divalent samarium bis(amidinate) has been prepared and aspects of its novel chemistry, including the preparation of a sterically hindered homoleptic Sm(III) tris(amidinate), explored.
