Summary:In situ protolysis reaction of a highly basic and sterically hindered N , N ′-di- tert -butyl-iminophosphonamide ligand Ph 2 P(&z.dbd;N- t Bu)(NH- t Bu) = (NPN t Bu )H ( 1 ) with equimolar or hemimolar amounts of rare-earth metal tris-alkyls leads to dialkyl [(NPN t Bu )Ln(CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 2 (THF) n ] (Ln = Sc, n = 0 ( 2 ), Ln = Y, n = 1 ( 3 )) and monoalkyl species [(NPN t Bu ) 2 Ln(CH 2 SiMe 3 )] (Ln = Y ( 4 ), Nd ( 6 ), Sm ( 7 )). One-pot reaction of [ScCl 3 (THF) 3 ]/ 1 /MeLi in 1/2/3 eq. ratio gives [(NPN t Bu ) 2 Sc(THF)CH 3 ] 5 . Further reaction of 4 with phenylacetylene resulted in the formation of the Y-alkynyl complex [(NPN t Bu ) 2 Y(-C&z.tbd;CPh)] 8 . Alkyl abstraction in 2 , 3 and 4 by reaction with [PhNMe 2 H] + [B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − resulted in the formation of cationic alkyl complex ion-pairs [(NPN t Bu )Ln(CH 2 SiMe 3 )(THF) n ] + [B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − (Ln = Sc ( 9 ), Y ( 10 )) and [(NPN t Bu ) 2 Y(THF) n ] + [B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − 11 , as confirmed by NMR data. The reaction of bis-NPN alkyl complexes with CHCl 3 is the simplest and most reliable protocol to synthesize bis-NPN-chlorido complexes [(NPN t Bu ) 2 Ln-Cl] (Ln = Sc ( 12 ), Y ( 13 ), Nd ( 14 ), Sm ( 15 ), Gd ( 16 ), Tb ( 17 ), Yb ( 18 ) and Lu ( 19 )), which can become new post-metallocene alternatives to the prominent organolanthanide building blocks [Cp* 2 LnX]. Partial hydrolysis of 12 leads to the formation of the oxido/chlorido-capped trinuclear complex [{(NPN t Bu )Sc(μ 2 -Cl)} 3 (μ 3 -O)(μ 3 -Cl)] 20 . Molecular structures of 4 , 6 , 7 , 13 , 19 and 20 were confirmed by X-ray structure analyses. New series of rare-earth metal dialkyls [(NPN t Bu )Ln(CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 2 (THF) n ] (Ln = Sc, n = 0 ( 2 ), Ln = Y, n = 1 ( 3 )) and monoalkyls [(NPN t Bu ) 2 Ln(CH 2 SiMe 3 )] (Ln = Y ( 4 ), Nd ( 6 ), Sm ( 7 )), [(NPN t Bu ) 2 Sc(THF)CH 3 ] ( 5 ) are achieved by protolysis of highly basic ligand Ph 2 P(&z.dbd;N- t Bu)(NH- t Bu) = (NPN t Bu )H ( 1 ). Further alkyl abstraction, alkyl/Cl exchange reactions and X-ray structure analyses of thus obtained new complexes are presented.
