The sodium cyclobutadienyl (Cb) reagent [Na-2{eta(4)-C-4(SiMe3)(4)}(THF)](2) (2) reacts with rare-earth halides [MCl3(THF)(x)], where M = Y, Dy (x = 3.5) and Lu (x = 3), giving the sandwich coordination polymers [M{eta(3)-C-4(SiMe3)(4)H}{eta(4) -C-4 (siMe(3))(3)-kappa-(CH(2)siMe(2)}Na](infinity) (3(M) , M = Y, Dy, Lu). The coordination environments of the rare-earth metals in 3(M) feature an eta(4)-cyclobutadienyl ligand, with additional coordination by a tuck-in trimethylsilyl group and an eta(3)-cyclobutenyl ligand. The ligand activation is thought to be a consequence of deprotonation of the Cb ligand by 2. The axial nature of the crystal field in 3(M) is reflected in the single-molecule magnet properties of 3(Dy), which has an anisotropy barrier of 309 cm(-1) in zero applied magnetic field.
