We are indebted to Professor S. Rovnyak for his appreciation and thoughtful comments. The questions raised in his discussion give us the opportunity to clarify some key issues of the FILTRA technique and, more generally, to elaborate further on the SIME method and its two-faceted approach to transient stability assessment and control. In the following we consider his questions in the same order...

The title compound, [Zr(3)(C(14)H(20)Si(2))(3)O(3)], consists of three disila-bridged zirconocene units, which are connected via an oxide ligand, forming a nearly planar six-membered ring with a maximum displacement of 0.0191 (8) Å. The compound was isolated as a by-product from a mixture of [(C(5)H(4)SiMe(2))(2)ZrCl(2)] and Li[AlH(4)] in Et(2)O.

A salt-elimination reaction between the neodymium monoiodide [Nd(L')(N'')(I)](2) [L' = Bu(t)NCH(2)CH(2){C(NCSiMe(3)CHNBu(t))}; N'' = N(SiMe(3))(2)] and K[FeCp(CO)(2)] affords the first complex with an unsupported 4f-3d metal-metal bond that is sufficiently stable to be isolated; the bond is identified as principally ionic in nature by DFT calculations.

Ligand substitution reactions and catalytic hydroamination/cyclization of aminoalkenes have been studied with a new oxazolinylborato yttrium compound, tris(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolinyl)phenylborato bis(trimethylsilylmethyl)yttrium ([Y(kappa(3)-To(M))(CH(2)SiMe(3))(2)(THF)], 1). THF exchange in 1 is rapid at room temperature, and activation parameters obtained by simulation of (1)H NMR spectra acqu...

The N-R-quinolinyl-8-amino ligands HL(1-3) (R = 2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3) (HL(1)), 2,6-Et(2)C(6)H(3) (HL(2)), 2,6-Me(2)C(6)H(3) (HL(3))) have been prepared, which reacted readily with one equiv. of rare earth metal tris(alkyl)s to afford the corresponding bis(alkyl) complexes L(1)Y(CH(2)SiMe(3))(2)(THF) (1) and L(1-3)Lu(CH(2)SiMe(3))(2)(THF) (2-4) via alkane elimination. Contrastingly, treatment of ...

Reaction of the uranium alkyl complex (C(5)Me(5))(2)UMe(2) (1) with Et(3)N.3HF in toluene in the presence of a donor ligand (pyridine or trimethylphosphine oxide) results in gas evolution and the formation of the uranium(IV) difluoride complexes (C(5)Me(5))(2)UF(2)(L) (L = NC(5)H(5) (2), Me(3)P=O (3)). Similarly, reaction of (C(5)Me(5))(2)U[kappa(2)-(C,N)-CH(2)Si(CH(3))(2)N(SiMe(3))] (5) with E...
