Amido-stabilized rare-earth metal mixed methyl methylidene complexes

Abstract

Donor(thf)-induced tetramethylaluminate cleavage of Ln(AlMe4)2(NSiMe3AriPr) as well as the reaction of (LnMe3)n (Ln = Y, Ho, Lu) with HNSiMe3AriPr in tetrahydrofuran affords unprecedented trinuclear rare-earth metal tetramethyl methylidene complexes which act as Schrock-type nucleophilic carbenes and methyl transfer agents.
