title: Dihydrogen addition in a dinuclear rare-earth metal hydride complex supported by a metalated TREN ligand.
abstract: The dinuclear lutetium dihydride dication supported by metalated tripodal ligands undergoes facile hydrogenolysis with H(2) to form a trihydride dication. Molecular orbital analysis shows that the LUMO is a bonding Lu···Lu orbital that is poised to activate dihydrogen.
