title: Bis({tris[2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-oxido-benzylideneamino)ethyl]amine}cerium(III)) diethyl ether solvate.
abstract: The title compound, 2[Ce(C(51)H(75)N(4)O(3))]·C(4)H(10)O, was obtained in high yield (92%) by reduction of (TRENDSAL)Ce(IV)Cl [TRENDSAL is N,N',N''-tris-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicyl-ide-natoamino)-triethyl-amine] with potassium in THF. The bulky tripodal TRENDSAL ligand effectively encapsulates the central Ce(III) cation with a Ce-N(imine) distance of 2.860 (2) Å and an average C-N(amine) distance of 2.619 Å within a distorted monocapped octahedral coordination.
