First neodymium(III) alkyl-carbene complex based on bis(iminophosphoranyl) ligands.
Serendipitous deprotonation of bis(iminophosphoranyl)methanide Nd(III) complexes afforded the first alkyl-carbene neodymium complex. Due to the presence of structurally similar methanide and methandiide fragments, this complex features, as evidenced by X-ray crystallographic analysis, Nd-C single and multiple bonds.
