Popis: The divalent lanthanide borohydrides [Ln(BH(4))(2)(THF)(2)] (Ln = Eu, Yb) have been prepared in a straightforward approach. The europium compound shows blue luminescence in the solid state, having a quantum yield of 75%. Nonradiative deactivation of C-H and B-H oscillator groups could be excluded in the perdeuterated complex [Eu(BD(4))(2)(d(8)-THF)(2)], which showed a quantum yield of 93%. The monocationic species [Ln(BH(4))(THF)(5)][BPh(4)] and the bis(phosphinimino)methanides [{(Me(3)SiNPPh(2))(2)CH}Ln(BH(4))(THF)(2)] have been prepared from [Ln(BH(4))(2)(THF)(2)]. They show significantly lower or no luminescence. Using the diamagnetic compound [{(Me(3)SiNPPh(2))(2)CH}Yb(BH(4))(THF)(2)], we performed a 2D (31)P/(171)Yb HMQC experiment.
