The reaction of YbI2 with 2 equiv. of Cp″ Na (Cp″-1,3-(Me3Si)2C5H3) in boiling toluene gives Na(Cp″2Yb}2(μ-I) in 71 % yield. On the evidence of X-ray diffraction analysis of this Yb(II) complex (P21/n, a = 13.5582(2), b = 17.4047(2), c = 26.9829(1) Å, β = 97.562(1)°, Z = 4, dcalcd. = 1.404 g cm−3, R1 = 0.0521 and wR2 = 0.1107), the crystal unit cell contains crystallographically independent anion complex [Cp″2Yb-I-YbCp″2] (Yb-I 3.1115(6), 3.0855(6) Å) and Na+ cation. No additional neutral ligands were found at the metal atoms.
