Most homogeneous catalysis relies on the design of metal complexes to trap and convert
substrates or small molecules to value‐added products. Organometallic lanthanide …

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

Covalency in Ln–Cl bonds of O h-LnCl6 x–(x= 3 for Ln= CeIII, NdIII, SmIII, EuIII, GdIII; x= 2 for
Ln= CeIV) anions has been investigated, primarily using Cl K-edge X-ray absorption …

The chemistry of actinide (An) and rare-earth metal (Ln and group 3) complexes featuring
multiple bonding interactions with main-group fragments has witnessed an enormous …

Understanding the nature of covalent (band-like) vs ionic (atomic-like) electrons in metal
oxides continues to be at the forefront of research in the physical sciences. In particular, the …

The first rare earth metal terminal imido complex has been isolated and structurally
characterized. The complex has an extremely short M–N bond length and a nearly linear M …

Complexes featuring lanthanide–ligand multiple bonds are rare and highly reactive. They
are important synthetic targets to understand 4f/5d-bonding in comparison to d-block and …

Terminal rare-earth-metal imide complexes TptBu, MeLn (NC6H3iPr2-2, 6)(dmap) of the mid-
late rare-earth elements dysprosium and holmium were synthesized via double methane …

A series of alkali metal capped cerium (IV) imido complexes,[M (solv) x][Ce N (3, 5-(CF3)
2C6H3)(TriNOx)](M= Li, K, Rb, Cs; solv= TMEDA, THF, Et2O, or DME), was isolated and fully …

Group 3-and 4f-element organometallic chemistry and reactivity are decisively driven by the
rare-earth-metal/lanthanide (Ln) ion size and associated electronegativity/ionicity/Lewis …
