Abstract

Highly reactive: The first divalent organoneodymium complex has been isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. It reacts immediately with all common aromatic and ethereal solvents, reduces dinitrogen to form an isolable dinitrogen complex, and undergoes C[BOND]H activation of a ligand tert-butyl group to form a crystallizable "tuck-in" complex (see scheme).
