A prolific and synergetic interplay of rare-earth metal components and organoaluminum
reagents is of fundamental importance in Ziegler-type catalysts used in diene …

The post-metallocene period of development of the chemistry of rare-earth organometallic
compounds is analysed. The synthesis, structures and reactivities of complexes containing …

Sterically crowded isoelectronic nf3 (C5Me5) 3M complexes of neodymium and uranium,
compounds which have unconventionally long metal ligand distances, are found to react …

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 …

DFT calculations show that La {CH (SiMe3) 2} 3, whose X-ray structure has previously been
determined, should be considered as having a β agostic Si–C bond and not a γ agostic C–H …

The synthesis and characterization (NMR and X‐ray) of a variety of neodymium alkoxides
derived from simple and functionalized tertiary monoalcohols, and their application as …

Reaction of 3 equiv of 2, 6-diisopropylaniline with Sm [N (SiMe3) 2] 3 affords the dimeric
species [Sm (NHAr) 3] 2 (1). X-ray crystallography illustrates that each metal center in 1 …

The bond-valence parameters (Rij), which connect bond valences and bond lengths, have
been computed for lanthanide–nitrogen bonds. It has been found that values of bond …

The structure− reactivity relationship of the rare-earth metal aryl (alk) oxide-promoted
coordination polymerization of isoprene was investigated using binary initiating systems Ln …

A combined experimental and DFT study of the reactions of the titanium imido methyl cation
[Ti (NtBu)(Me3 [9] aneN3) Me]+(4+) with AlMe3 and ZnMe2 is described. Reaction of 4+ with …
