Rare-earth metal alkyl and hydride complexes stabilized by a cyclen-derived [NNNN] macrocyclic ancillary ligand
A trinuclear rare-earth metal hydride complex was synthesized from the dialkyl complex supported by a monoanionic [NNNN] macrocycle and shown to catalyze the hydrosilylation of olefins efficiently.
