Abstract: The molecular structure of a mixed terphenyl COT compound (COT is cyclooctatetraene) of the element lutetium, of composition DppLuCOT(-Cl)Li(THF)₃ (Dpp is 2,6-diphenylphenyl, or m-terphenyl, and THF is tetrahydrofuran) or [LuLi(C₈H₈)(C₁₈H₁₃)Cl(C₄H₈O)₃], is reported. The monomeric complex contains one ⁸-bonded COT and one -bonded terphenyl ligand, as well as a lithium chloride moiety, with the alkali metal atom solvated by three tetrahydrofuran molecules.
