Abstract

A simple method is described which allows the growth of large transparent single crystals of tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]lanthanide(III) complexes (lanthanide = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Er, Tm, Yb). We have used these single crystals as starting material for a number of chemical reactions and detected no contamination with THF containing by-products. The superior quality of the crystals grown is demonstrated by optical polarization experiments. From the spectra a large negative crystal field parameter B2 0 could be concluded
