One of the paradigms of lanthanide coordination and organo-metallic chemistry is that the 4f orbitals are strongly shielded from interaction with the ligands. Thepurpose of this com-munication is to report the first, to our knowledge, experimental evidence for a strong covalent bonding interaction of ligands with the 4f orbitals of europium in (7j5-C5H5) 3Eu (THF). Europium-151 Móssbauer spectroscopy is an excellent probe for determining the electronic properties of organoeuropium compounds. 2 The europium-151 isomer shift is strongly dependent upon the valence state of europium, and europium (II) compounds typically have3 isomer shifts of ca.-12.5 mm/s. In contrast, europium (III) compounds have isomer shifts2-4 of ca. 0.3 mm/s. The extent of structural distortion from cubic symmetry at the europium-151 nucleus is probed by the quadrupole interaction. Most organoeuropium compounds2-4 show small quadrupole interactions of less than±15 mm/s, and the quadrupole interaction of+ 48 mm/s in Eui. o3Rh3B2. i is the largest ever reported. 5 Herein, we report the crystal structure of (t^-CsHsjEuClr (THF) 3 and the europium-151 Móssbauer spectra of several new organoeuropium (III) compounds with a variety of ligand environments. One compound,(tj5-C5Hs) 3Eu (THF), is unusual because it exhibits both a very negative isomer shift of-1.77 mm/s and a very large negative quadrupole interaction of-33.6 mm/s. These values are unique among thoseobserved2-4 for organoeuropium (III) compounds and are discussed in terms of the electronic structure of this compound. All organometallic compounds were prepared and handled in a nitrogen atmosphere glovebox with rigorous exclusion of air and moisture. The solvents, THF and pentane, were dried according to standard methods6 and distilled under nitrogen immediately prior to use. Anhydrous EuC13 and sodium cyclopentadienide were prepared according to standard methods. 7· 8 (i? 5-C5H5) EuC12 (THF) 3 and (j? 5-C5H5) 3Eu (THF) were prepared as reported previously. 9-11*(i? 5-¿ 5H5) Eu (NCS) 2 (THF) 3 was (1)(a) Universitá di Padova,(b) Université de Liége.(c) University of Geneva,(d) University of Missouri—Rolla.(2) Grandjean, F.; Long, GJ In Móssbauer Spectroscopy Applied to Inorganic Chemistry·, Long, G.
