Abstract

In gas phase, Na-atom adducts were produced for organometallic lanthanide complexes of Ln_n(C₈H₈)_n+1 [Ln = europium (Eu) and holmium (Ho); C₈H₈ = 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene (COT)] by a combination of two-laser vaporization and a molecular beam method. The number of attached Na atoms can be reasonably explained by charge distributions of the complex, where Eu and Ho atoms exist as Eu²⁺ and Ho³⁺ , respectively, and C₈H₈ molecules as COT^2-, accepting two excess electrons. The behavior of the Na adducts chemically demonstrates that the organometallic lanthanide complex is formed through ionic bonding, implying that it is possible to be isolated as its Na salt.
