title: {Bis[N,N'-dicyclo-hexyl-N'',N''-bis-(tri-meth-yl-sil-yl)guanidinato-κ(2)N,N']neo-dymium(III)}di-μ-chlorido-[bis-(tetra-hydro-furan-κO)lithium].
abstract: In the title monomeric rare earth complex, [LiNd(C(19)H(40)N(3)Si(2))(2)Cl(2)(C(4)H(8)O)(2)], the [(Me(3)Si)(2)NC(NCy)(2)](2)Nd(+) (Me is methyl, Cy is cyclo-hex-yl) and Li(THF)(2) (+) units (THF is tetra-hydro-furan) are connected by two bridging Cl atoms. The Nd(3+) ion is coordinated by two guanidinate ligands and two Cl atoms, forming a distorted chelating octa-hedral geometry. The Li(+) ion is four-coordinated by two Cl atoms and two O atoms from THF mol-ecules in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry.
