The first bridged lanthanide carbene complex formed through reduction of carbodiimide by diamine-bis(phenolate) ytterbium(ii) complex and its reactivity to phenylisocyanate

Abstract

The reaction of YbL(THF)2 (L = [–OC6H2(2,4-tBu2)(6-CH2)]2NCH2CH2NMe2) with iPrN=C=NiPr led to the bridged carbene ytterbium complex (YbL)2(μ-NiPrCNiPr)via a two-electron reduction process of carbodiimide, which reacted with PhNCO to afford a dinuclear ytterbium complex and a spiro derivative.
