Planar Trimethylenemethane Dianion Chemistry of Lanthanide Metal locenes: Synthesis, Structure, Density Functional Theory Analysis, and Reactivity of [(CMe)Lna][μ-,μ³:,μ-C(CH)] Complexes

The unusual formation of planar trimethylenemethane (TMM) dianion complexes of lanthanide metallocenes, [(CMe)Ln][μ-η³:η³-C(CH)J (Ln = Sm, 1; La, 2; Pr, 3; Nd, 4; Y, 5) has been examined by synthesizing examples with metals from La to Y to examine the effects of radial size on structure and to provi...
