Synthesis and structural characterisation of the first neutral homoleptic lanthanide metal(III) alkyls: [LnR3][Ln = La or Sm, R = CH(SiMe3)2]

Abstract: The alkylating agent LiR [R = CH(SiMe3)2] reacts with [Ln(OC6H3But2-2,6)3](Ln = La or Sm) under ambient conditions to yield [LnR3][Ln = La (1) or Sm (2)], the first structurally characterised neutral homoleptic alkyls of the lanthanide metals; the crystalline compounds (1) and (2) have C3 symmetry and almost tetrahedral CLnC′ angles, with Ln–C bonds of 2.515(9)(1) or 2.33(2)A(2), and unusually short Ln ⋯ CH3 contacts [3.121(9)(1) or 2.85(3)A(2)].

Synthesis and spectroscopic and x-ray structural studies of the mesitylphosphines Ph2Mes and PHMes2 (Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) and their lithium salts [Li(THF)3PHMes] and [{Li(OEt2)PMes2}2]

Abstract: PH 2 Mes cristallise dans le systeme orthorhombique, groupe d'espace Pmen et sa structure est affinee jusqu'a R=0,068, PHMes 2 et [Li(THF) 3 PHMes] cristallisent dans le systeme monoclinique, groupe d'espace P2 1 /c avec R=0,083 et R=0,074. [{Li(OEt 2 )PMes 2 } 2 ] cristallise dans le systeme triclinique, groupe d'espace P1 avec R=0,067

Frustrated Lewis pair chemistry: development and perspectives.

Abstract: Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are combinations of Lewis acids and Lewis bases in solution that are deterred from strong adduct formation by steric and/or electronic factors. This opens pathways to novel cooperative reactions with added substrates. Small-molecule binding and activation by FLPs has led to the discovery of a variety of new reactions through unprecedented pathways. Hydrogen activation and subsequent manipulation in metal-free catalytic hydrogenations is a frequently observed feature of many FLPs. The current state of this young but rapidly expanding field is outlined in this Review and the future directions for its broadening sphere of impact are considered.
