Lanthanides (Ln) usually occur in the +3, or more recently the +2, oxidation states. The only example of an isolated molecular Ln so far remains Ce. Here we show that the +4 oxidation state is also accessible in a molecular compound of terbium as demonstrated by oxidation of the tetrakis(siloxide)terbium(III) ate complex, [KTb(OSi(O Bu))], 1-Tb, with the tris(4-bromophenyl)amminium oxidant, [N(CHBr)][SbCl], to afford the Tb complex [Tb(OSi(O Bu))], 2-Tb. The solid state structures of 1-Tb and 2-Tb were determined by X-ray crystallography, and the presence of Tb was unambiguously confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance and magnetometry. Complex 2-Tb displays a similar voltammogram to the Ce analogue but with redox events that are about 1 V more positive.
镧系元素(Ln)通常以+3 价存在,或者最近以+2 价存在。到目前为止,唯一分离的分子镧系元素的例子仍然是铈。在这里,我们表明+4 氧化态也可以在三价四硅氧烷合铽(III)烷氧根配合物[KTb(OSi(O Bu))],1-Tb 的分子化合物中获得,该配合物用三(4-溴苯基)氨盐氧化剂[N(CHBr)][SbCl]氧化,得到铽配合物[Tb(OSi(O Bu))],2-Tb。通过 X 射线晶体学确定了 1-Tb 和 2-Tb 的固体结构,并通过电子顺磁共振和磁强计明确证实了铽的存在。配合物 2-Tb 显示出与 Ce 类似物相似的循环伏安图,但氧化还原事件的电位约正 1 V。
