Tetrakis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-κ2O,O′)ytterbium(II) bis(μ2-phenylselenolato-κ2Se:Se)bis[bis(phenylselenolato-κSe)mercurate(II)]

The title salt, [Yb(C4H10O2)4][Hg2(C6H5Se)6], consists of eight-coordinate homoleptic [Yb(DME)4]2+ dications (DME is 1,2-dimethoxyethane) countered with [Hg2(SePh)6]2− dianions. The cations and anions have twofold rotation and inversion symmetry, respectively. The Yb centre displays a squa...
