Abstract

Recent progress in the chemistry of structurally well-defined lanthanide ketyl and ketone dianion complexes is reviewed, with particular emphasis on the ligand effects on the reactivity of these complexes. It has been demonstrated that the stability and reactivity of the ketyl radical and ketone dianion species strongly depend on the steric and electronic properties of the ancillary ligands, the structure of their parent ketones, as well as the nature of the metals to which they are bound. Fine-tuning these factors can control the reactivity of these species. Generation and reactions of dianionic thioketone and imine species are also briefly described.
