Abstract

Studies on the reactions of 3-(tert-butyliminomethine)indole or 3-(tert-butylaminomethylene)indole with rare-earth metal amides [(Me₃Si)₂N]₃RE^III(μ-Cl)Li(THF)₃ (RE = Y, Yb) led to the discovery of different reactivity patterns with isolation of novel rare-earth metal complexes having a unique indolyl-1,2-dianion in a novel η¹:(μ₂–η¹:η¹) bonding mode through C–H activation.
