A Novel Bis(imino)amine Ligand as a Result of Acetonitrile Coupling with the Diiodides of Dy(II) and Tm(II)

Complexes of Dy(III) and Tm(III) with novel 1,1'-bis(iminoethyl)ethylamine ligands, [{(HN=CMe)2MeCNH2}Ln(MeCN)6]I3, were obtained by the reactions of LnI2 (Ln = Dy(II), Tm(II)) with acetonitrile.
