title: New perspectives in organolanthanide chemistry from redox to bond metathesis: insights from theory.
abstract: A fifteen year contribution of computational studies carried out in close synergy with experiments is summarized. This interplay has allowed some important breakthroughs in the field of organolanthanide chemistry. The variety of different reaction mechanisms in lanthanide chemistry appear to be broader than the simple bond metathesis.
