Crystal structure and in situ decomposition of Eu(BH<inf>4</inf>)<inf>2</inf> and Sm(BH<inf>4</inf>)<inf>2</inf>

Synthesis of halide free rare earth metal (RE) borohydride complexes is demonstrated by the metathesis reaction of trivalent RE metal chlorides and LiBH<inf>4</inf> in ethereal solution, combined with solvent extraction using dimethyl sulfide. The crystal structures of Eu...
