The dimeric hydride [Cp′2SmH]2 and the monomeric trisalkylborohydride Cp′2SmHBEt3(THF)n (Cp′ C5H4tBu) are obtained from the starting dimeric chloride [Cp′2SmCl]2 by reaction with a hydridic reagent: NaHBEt3. By hydrogenolysis of Cp′2SmR (R CH2SiMe3 or CH(SiMe3)2) in the presence of an...detailed
A 55-nm samarium film capped with a 15-nm palladium overlayer switched from a metallic reflecting to a semiconducting, transparent in visible state during ex-situ hydrogen loading via electrochemical means in 1 M KOH electrolytic aqueous solution at room temperature. The optical transmittance ex...detailed
