title: P-P bond formation via reductive dimerization of [Cp*Fe(η5-P5)] by divalent samarocenes.
abstract: The two new 3d/4f polyphosphide complexes [(Cp*Fe)(2)P(10){Sm(η(5)-C(5)Me(4)R)(2)}(2)] (Cp* = η(5)-C(5)Me(5); R = Me, nPr) were prepared by reductive dimerization of [Cp*Fe(η(5)-P(5))] with samarocenes. They are the first P(10) bridging 3d/4f metal complexes and the first examples of reductive coupling of polyphosphide complexes by divalent lanthanides.
