A new divalent ytterbium complex, [{(L Ph )Yb II (Et 2 O)(thf)} 2 (μ‐KI)] {L Ph = Ph 2 Si(NAr) 2 , Ar = 2,6‐ i Pr 2 C 6 H 3 } ( 3 ), was synthesized by the reaction of [(L Ph )Yb III I(thf) 2 ] ( 2 ) and an excess of potassium. The bimetallic ytterbium(II) species with bulky diamido ligands are bridged by a KI molecule with cation–π interactions. These two complexes have been fully characterized, particularly by X‐ray crystallography.
