Tin-lanthanoid donor-acceptor bonds.
Reactions of a lithium tris(2-pyridyl)stannate with lanthanoid metal organic compounds resulted in the formation of novel donor-acceptor complexes, containing a low valent tin-lanthanoid bond; DFT calculations reveal that this bond exhibits some covalent character.
