The number of rare earth (RE) starting materials used in synthesis is staggering, ranging
from simple binary metal-halide salts to borohydrides and “designer reagents” such as alkyl …

Since the discovery in the early 1980s, the soluble divalent metallocenes of lanthanides
have become a steadily growing field in organometallic chemistry. The predominant part of …

The recent isolation of molecular tetravalent lanthanide complexes has enabled renewed
exploration of the effect of oxidation state on the single-ion properties of the lanthanide ions …

The lanthanide borohydrides [Ln (BH 4) 3 (THF) n][Ln= La, n= 4 (1); Ln= Ce, n= 3.5] were
treated with the substituted cyclopentadienyl potassium transfer agents KCp tt (Cp tt= C 5 H …

We report the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of the first rare earth complexes
of metalloid group 14 clusters [(thf) 2Ln (Ge9Hyp3) 2](Ln= Eu, Sm, Hyp= Si (SiMe3) 3). X …

We report the preparation and structural characterization of the first persilylated metallocene
via the metalation of decabromoferrocene. Although Grignard conditions turned out to be …

Heavy metal on Lewis acid: The combination of lanthanide metals and AlCl3 has been
employed for selective single C− F activation in benzofulvenes comprising an exocyclic CF3 …

This review summarizes the progress in organo-f-element chemistry during the year 2016. In
some ways, the organo-f-element chemistry published in 2016 differs from that of previous …

We report the synthesis of heteroleptic dysprosium complexes of the 1, 2, 4-tris
(trimethylsilyl) cyclopentadienyl ligand (Cp‴={C5H2 (SiMe3) 3-1, 2, 4}), and diamagnetic …

Radical–radical cyclisation cascades, triggered by single-electron-transfer to amide-type
carbonyls using SmI2–H2O–LiBr, result in the selective construction of quaternary carbon …
