The Yb(II) hydride complex (DIPP-nacnac)YbH·THF (3-Yb, DIPP-nacnac = CH{(CMe)(2,6-iPr2C6H3N)}2) was prepared by a mild metathesis reaction of (DIPP-nacnac)Yb[N(SiMe3)2]·THF with PhSiH3. 3-Yb crystalli
Attempts to prepare [Dy{C(PPh2NSiMe3)2}(I)(THF)2] (1) from in situ prepared “[Dy(Bn)2(I)(THF)3]” (“2”; Bn = C6H5CH2) and H2C(PPh2NSiMe3)2 resulted in the isolation of [Dy{CH(PPh2NSiMe3)2}(I)2(THF)] (3
A new amine-functionalized carboranyl-indenyl hybrid ligand shows unique properties in stabilizing various kinds of lanthanocene chloride complexes via increasing steric effects imposed by the coordin
The acid−base reaction between lanthanide tris(alkyl) complexes Ln(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 and 2 equiv of HC5Me4SiMe3 in THF or hexane at room temperature resulted in the formation of metallocene complexes [
Whereas a number of homoleptic metal(III) tetramethylaluminates M(AlMe4)3 of the rare earth metals have proven accessible, the stability of these compounds varies strongly among the metals, with some
