INFORMATION TO USERS This manus&ipt has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality iilustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6" x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Parti Hydrogen-bridged lanthanide(II)-boron complexes were synthesized and characterized. (CH3CN)%Ln[B3Hg]2 was prepared by the metathesis reaction between (NH3)xLnCl2, (Ln = Yb, Eu) and KP3H8] in liquid NH3 and subsequent displacement of NH3 with CH3CN. The preliminary structure of (CH3CN)4Yb[B3Hg]2, 1, is interesting since the two [B3Hg]' anions have different bonding modes. From NMR spectroscopic studies, the [B3Hg]* anion was determined to be fluxional even at 213 K. [Yb(CH3CN)g][Bi2Hi2], 2, and (CH3CN)6Yb[(p-H)2BnHu], 3, crystallized from the saturated CH3CN solution of (CH3CN)4Yb[B3Hg]2, 1. The oxidized species, [Eu(NH3)6(CH3CN)3][B3Hg]3, 7, was obtained from an CH3CN solution of (CH3CN)xEu[B3Hg]2,6. The organohydroborate derivatives, (THF)4Yb[(p-H)2BCgHi4]2. 8, and [(THF)4K]2[Eu{(p-H)2BCgHi4}4], 10, were synthesized by the metathesis reaction of (THF)xLnCl2, (Ln = Yb, Eu) with K[H2BCgHt4] in THF at room temperature. 2 and 7 are solvent-separated ion-pairs. 3 is the only structurally characterized metallaborane containing 11 boron atoms. For 3,8 and 10, the anions are coordinated to the Ln(ll) ions through three-center two-electron B-H-Ln bonds. Bridging hydride ion can be abstracted from the reaction of 8 with B(C6F$)3. For 10, unique agostic H-Eu and H-K interactions ii were observed. Crystal data for 2: monoclinic, Cc, a = 14.2260(10) A, 6 = 13.1350(10) A, c = 16.4780(10) A,/? = 90,000(30)®, Z = 4.

The metathesis reaction between LnCb, (Ln = La, Gd) and K 2[Pd(CN) 4] with a 2 to 3 molar ratio in DMF at room temperature yielded two different types of one dimensional polymeric arrays: the double-strand Type B array, {(DMF)ioGd 2[Pd(CN) 4]3}-, 11, and the zigzag chain Type C array containing “diamond”-shaped metal cores, {(DMF)t 2La2[Pd(CN) 4]3}-, 12. Meanwhile, a zigzag single-strand array, {(DMF)sLn[Pd(CN) 4]Cl}-, (Ln = La, 13; Gd, 14) were synthesized by the metathesis reaction between LnCb and K 2[Pd(CN) 4] with a 1 to 1 molar ratio in DMF.
