The new divalent thulium compound [Tm(BH(4))(2)(DME)(2)] could be prepared by reduction of [Tm(BH(4))(3)(THF)(3)] or from TmI(2) and KBH(4). It was used as a precursor to the divalent [(Tp(tBu,Me))Tm(BH(4))(THF)] by reaction with potassium tris(2-tBu-4-Me)pyrazolylborate (KTp(tBu,Me)). Both Tm(II) compounds were found active as ε-caprolactone polymerisation catalysts.

In this study, we report the growth and comprehensive spectroscopic analysis of TmF-doped CaF crystals, grown using the vertical Bridgman method. The optical absorption and photoluminescence properties of both trivalent (Tm) and divalent (Tm) thulium ions were investigated. Optical absorption spectra in the UV-VIS-NIR range reveal characteristic transitions of Tm ions, as well as weaker absorption bands corresponding to Tm ions.

Poly-anionic compounds can chelate divalent cations and dissolve calcium oxalate stone. Our objective was to assess how much concurrent irrigation with poly-anionic chelating solutions during non-contact laser lithotripsy or popcorning could improve stone ablation rate. A popcorning model was created by lowering a ureteroscope with thulium fiber laser into a test tube calyx.

The divalent thulium complex [Tm(Cp)] (Cp = 1,2,4-tris(-butyl)cyclopentadienyl) reacts with CO to afford selective CO reductive dimerization and trimerization into ethynediolate (C) and ketenecarboxylate (C) complexes, respectively. DFT calculations were performed to shed light on the elementary steps of CO homologation and support a stepwise chain growth. The attempted decoordination of the ethynediolate fragment by treatment with MeSiI led to dimerization and rearrangement into a 3,4-dihydroxyfuran-2-one complex.

The syntheses and molecular structures of new Sm and Tm ,-dimethylaminodiboranate (DMADB) complexes are described. Treating SmI(THF) with Na(HBNMeBH) in THF results in the formation of Sm(HBNMeBH)(THF) (), which can be readily converted to Sm(HBNMeBH)(DME) (DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) or Sm(HBNMeBH)(diglyme) by exchange with the corresponding ether. We also show that Sm(HBNMeBH)(THF) can be prepared by reduction of the Sm compound Sm(HBNMeBH)(THF) with KC and that addition of 18-crown-6 to this reaction mixture results in the formation of the Sm compound Sm(HBNMeBH)(18-crown-6).

Divalent lanthanide organometallics are well-known highly reducing compounds usually used for single electron transfer reactivity and small molecule activation. Thus, their very reactive nature prevented for many years the study of their physical properties, such as magnetic studies on a reliable basis. In this article, the access to rare organometallic sandwich compounds of Tm with the cyclooctatetraenyl (Cot) ligand impacts on the use of divalent organolanthanide compounds as an additional strategy for the design of performing Single Molecule Magnets (SMM).
