M. Visseaux et al., A NEW CLASS OF ORGANOLANTHANIDE HYDRIDES - NMR IDENTIFICATION OF THE PARAMAGNETIC ND-H SPECIES, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 323(6), 1996, pp. 415-419
The new biscyclopentadienylneodymiumtriethylborohydrides: Cp(2)(Q)NDHB
Et(3) (Cp(Q)=C5H4CH2CH2OCH3); Cp(2)'NdHBEt(3), nTHF (Cp'=C(5)H(4)tBu)
are obtained by addition of NaHBEt(3) on to the corresponding chloride
s. The Nd-H NMR signals are found at ca 200 ppm. The reactivity of the
se moderately stable complexes is similar to that of the known dimeric
cyclopentadienyllanthanide hydrides.
