Displacement of a cyclopentadienyl ligand by a crown ether from a lanthanocene(II) [LnCp''2]; crystal structures of the first cationic lanthanoid(II) complexes, [SmCp''([18]-crown-6)][Cp''].3C6H6 [Cp'' = eta5-C5H3(SiMe3)2-1,3]

The authors point out that (i) in the title, (ii) on p. 1843, LHS, 2nd paragraph, line 12, and (iii) on page 1844, RHS, line 2, they should have written 'the first cationic organolanthanoid(II) complexes' and not 'the first cationic lanthanoid(II) complexes'. For other lanthanoid(II) complexes reference may be made, inter alia, to M. Berardini, T. J. Emge and J. G. Brennan, Inorg. Chem., 1995, 34, 5327, and Z. Hou, Y. Zhang and Y. Wakatsuki, Bull. Chem.
