title: Unusual reactivity of lanthanide borohydride complexes leading to a borane complex.
abstract: Depending on the ionic radius of the central metal atom the BH(4)(-) group, which usually reacts in lanthanide chemistry like a pseudo halide, can be involved in redox chemistry and the resulting product contains an N-BH(3) unit, which binds in an unusual eta(2)-fashion onto the metal atom.
