Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Two divalent ytterbium (Yb) complexes, 1 and 2, supported by new [ONOO]-type amine bis(phenolate) ligands L were synthesized in good yield by an amine elimination reaction of Yb(N(SiMe ))(TMEDA) (TMEDA = tetramethylethylenediamine) with one equivalent of the ligand precursor. X-ray structural determination showed complexes 1 and 2 both have a monomeric structure. Each adopts distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the six-coordinate Yb ion. Two new trivalent ytterbium (Yb ) aryloxide complexes, 4 and 5, bearing [ONOO]-type amine bis(phenolate) ligands L and L were prepared by double-protonation reaction of Yb(CH)THF with one equivalent of the ligand precursor, then one equivalent of phenol. Complex 4 has a symmetric dimeric structure with a YbO core bridging through the oxygen atoms of the OCH -4-CH groups. Complex 5 is a THF-solvated monomer. Each six-coordinated Yb ion in both complexes adopts a distorted octahedron. All the complexes synthesized together with the known Yb complex 3 were evaluated in the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-lactide (rac-LA). Complexes 1 and 4 were found to be extremely active for controlled ROP of rac-LA, as judged by narrow molar mass distributions (M /M: 1.07-1.16 for complex 1 and 1.07-1.10 for complex 4) and experimental molar mass M values in good agreement with theoretic M values calculated on a single PLA chain produced per metal center of initiator. Complex 5 is less controlled. Complexes 1, 4, and 5 exhibited the same high stereoselectivity to give heterotactic polylactide with a P (probability of racemic enchainment of monomer units) ranging from 0.97 to 0.99. Dramatic decreases in activity and stereoselectivity were found for complexes 2 (P = 0.82) and 3 (P = 0.67), indicating the framework of L in the unit of [YbL] is crucial for determining activity and stereoselectivity of either Yb or Yb complexes. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
