The reaction of the naphthalene ytterbium(II) complex (µ‐C 10 H 8 )[YbI(DME) 2 ] 2 ( 1 ) with indene proved to be a convenient synthetic route to the novel indenyl half‐sandwich ytterbium(II) complex [(C 9 H 7 )YbI(DME) 2 ] ( 2 ), which is a monomer in the solid state and stable in DME solution, although it rearranges in THF to give the symmetric derivatives [(C 9 H 7 ) 2 Yb(THF) 2 ] and [YbI 2 (THF) 2 ]. The reaction of 2 with equimolar amounts of C 5 H 5 Na in DME yields [(C 5 H 5 ) 2 Yb(DME)] and [(C 9 H 7 ) 2 Yb(DME)].
