Di-[mu]-phenyl­thio-bis­[bis([eta]⁵-methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl)(tetra­hydro­furan)lanthanum(III)] bis­(tetra­hydro­furan) solvate

The title complex, [La₂(C₆H₇)₄(C₆H₅S)₂(C₄H₈O)₂]·2C₄H₈O, is a centrosymmetric dimer bridged through the S atoms of the benzene­thiolate ligands. The bridging La₂S₂ unit is completely planar, while the geometry around the nine-coordinate La atom is that of a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The La-S-La and S-La-S angles are 117.51 (4) and 62.5 (1)°, respectively, and the average La-S bond length is 2.9759 Å. The crystals contain two tetra­hydro­furan solvate mol­ecules for every complex mol­ecule.
