Neutral binuclear rare-earth metal complexes with four μ₂-bridging hydrides

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Mar 25;51(24):5063-5. doi: 10.1039/c4cc07262f.

Abstract

The first neutral rare-earth metal dinuclear dihydrido complexes [(NPNPN)LnH2]2 (2-Ln; Ln = Y, Lu; NPNPN: N[Ph2PNC6H3((i)Pr)2]2) bearing μ2-bridging hydride ligands have been synthesized. In the presence of THF, 2-Y undergoes intramolecular activation of the sp(2) C-H bond to form dinuclear aryl-hydride complex 3-Y containing three μ2-bridging hydride ligands.
