The synthesis, X-ray structure and fluxional behaviour of an ytterbium(II) phenalenide complex.

The first lanthanoid complexes containing delocalized phenalenide anions are reported and the rapid migration of the eta(3)-bonded metal centre between the three rings of the pi-system is the first report of a degenerate haptotropic rearrangement in organolanthanoid chemistry.
