title: Bis(amidinate) ligands in early lanthanide chemistry - synthesis, structures, and hydroamination catalysis.
abstract: Bis(amidinate) ligands attached to rigid dibenzofuran and phenanthrene backbones have been introduced into lanthanide chemistry for the first time. Depending on the ligand and on the lanthanide source, either bi- and tetra-metallic macrocycles or monometallic complexes were obtained. The mono- and bi-metallic systems were compared in terms of their reactivity in the intramolecular hydroamination reaction. Depending on the catalyst used (mono vs. bimetallic) different rate laws were observed.
