Abstract Using previously established salt‐metathesis procedures at low temperature, heterobimetallic ate complexes Li 6 Eu II ( n ‐Bu) 8 (thf) and 3 Y III i 4 could be synthesized their solid‐state structures analyzed by X‐ray diffraction. Recently described complex Y( was probed as a precursor in protonolyses with various amines, revealing distinct reaction pathways. Identified products compr...

We report the addition of M–H bonds (M1⁄4 Al, Zn, Mg) to a Rh(III) intermediate generated from the reductive elimination of triethylsilane from [Cp*Rh(H)2(SiEt3)2]. A series of new heterobimetallic complexes possessing Rh–M bonds have been isolated and characterised by a number of spectroscopic (H, Si, C, Rh NMR, infrared, and X-ray diffraction) and computational techniques (NBO and QTAIM analy...

Using the half-sandwich tricyanometalate, KCpCo(CN)3 (1, Cp = cyclopentadienyl), as the building block, two new cyano-bridged heterobimetallic complexes, [{CpCo(CN)3}2M(H2O)2] Æ 2H2O (M = Fe , 2; Co, 3), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complexes 2 and 3 are isostructural. In each complex, [CpCo(CN)3] acts as a bis-monodentate bridging ligand toward the central [M(H2O)2] 2+...
