Lanthanide imido and alkylidene complexes are rare, with few examples of lanthanide-carbon multiple bonds. Recent rational synthesis approaches and Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies offer insights into supporting these unusual reactive groups.

Area of Science:

  • Organometallic Chemistry
  • Lanthanide Chemistry

Background:

  • Imido and alkylidene complexes of transition metals are well-established.
  • Lanthanide complexes with Ln=X (X = C, N) functionalities are notably scarce in the literature.
  • Most reported lanthanide imido complexes have been synthesized serendipitously.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of lanthanide imido and alkylidene complexes.
  • To highlight recent rational synthetic strategies for Ln=X functionalities.
  • To provide insights into the electronic and steric factors governing these compounds.

Main Methods:

  • Literature survey of lanthanide imido and alkylidene complexes.
  • Analysis of recent rational synthesis approaches.
  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) study of a samarium imido complex.

Main Results:

  • Only nine examples of lanthanide imido complexes have been reported.
  • Concrete examples of lanthanide-carbon multiple bonds are even more sparse.
  • DFT study provided insights into electronic and steric factors for supporting Ln=X groups.

Conclusions:

  • The field of lanthanide imido and alkylidene chemistry is underdeveloped.
  • Rational synthesis and theoretical studies are crucial for advancing this area.
  • Further research could expand the utility of these compounds.
