Cationic borohydrido–neodymium complex: Synthesis, characterization and its application as an efficient pre-catalyst for isoprene polymerisation†
Abstract
The cationic borohydrido lanthanide complex [Nd(BH4)2(THF)5][B(C6F5)4] 1, prepared from the reaction of Nd(BH4)3(THF)3 with [HNMe2Ph][B(C6F5)4], is highly active towards isoprene
