Synthesis and characterization of organolanthanide complexes with a calix [4]-pyrrolyl ligand and their catalytic activities toward hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes …
The alkali metal salt free dinuclear trivalent lanthanide amido complexes (η5: η1: η5: η1-Et8- calix [4]-pyrrolyl){LnN (SiMe3) 2} 2 (Ln= Nd (2), Sm (3), Gd (4)) were prepared through the silylamine elimination reactions of calix [4]-pyrrole [Et2C (C4H2NH)] 4 (1) with 2 equiv of
