We report the synthesis and characterization of ionic compounds [(thf) 4 YbI] 2 [Ge 9 (Hyp) 3 ] 2 (1) and [(thf) 5 LnI] 4 [Ge 9 (Hyp) 3 ] 4 (Ln = Eu (2), Sm (3)), (Hyp = Si(SiMe 3 ) 3 ). All compounds were examined by UV-Vis spectroscopy and a blue luminescence of Eu 2+ was found. The solid state magnetic measurements of complexes 2 and 3 confirmed the presence of divalent lanthanides.
