title: Unprecedented examples of heterobimetallic cerium(IV) disiloxanediolates.
abstract: The first disiloxanediolate complexes of cerium(IV) are reported. Starting from the readily available precursor ((t)BuO)(3)Ce(IV)(NO(3))(THF)(2) (1), we prepared the novel heterobimetallic compounds [{(Ph(2)SiO)(2)O}{K(THF)(2)}](2)Ce(O(t)Bu)(2) (2) and [{(Ph(2)SiO)(2)O}(2){(DME)-KO(t)Bu}{(Ph(2)SiO(2))K}Ce](2) (3) and structurally characterized them by X-ray diffraction.
