Abstract
Although there are few reduced dinitrogen complexes of scandium, this metal has revealed a new structural type in reductive dinitrogen chemistry by reduction of bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) scandium halides under N2. Reduction of (Cp* = C5Me5) with potassium graphite (KC8) under dinitrogen generates the dark blue paramagnetic complex , 1. This end-on bridging (N[double bond, length as m-dash]N)2- complex is a diradical with a magnetic moment of 2.8µ B. Upon further reduction of 1 with KC8, the orange diamagnetic trimetallic complex , 2, is obtained. This complex has an unprecedented structure in which two side-on bridging (N[double bond, length as m-dash]N)2- ligands are bound to the central (Cp*Sc)2+ moiety. Complex 2 can also be obtained directly from reduction of or a mixture of and with KC8. The reaction of with KC8 in the presence of 18-crown-6 or 2.2.2-cryptand affords 2 along with small amounts of , 3, which is green at room temperature and purple at low temperature and displays a mixture of side-on and end-on bridging isomers in the crystal structure collected at -180 °C. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are consistent with a triplet ground state for the end-on complex 1 and singlet ground states for the side-on complexes 2 and 3.

Abstract
The use of redox-active ligands with the f-block elements has been employed to promote unique chemical transformations and explore their unique emergent electronic properties for a myriad of applications. In this study, we report eight new tris(amido) metal complexes: 1-Ln (Ln = Tb3+, Dy3+, Ho3+, Er3+, Tm3+, and Yb3+), 1-La, and 1-Ti (an early transition metal analogue). The one-electron oxidation of the tris(amido) ligand was conducted to generate semi-iminato complexes 2-Ln, 2-La, and 2-Ti, and these complexes were studied using EPR. Tris(amido) complexes 1-Ln, 1-La, and 1-Ti were fully characterized using a range of spectroscopic (NMR and UV-vis/NIR) and physical techniques (X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetry, with the exception of 1-La). Computational methods were employed to further elucidate the electronic structures of these complexes. Lastly, complexes 1-Ln, 1-La, and 1-Ti were probed as catalysts for alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling, and the initial rate of the reaction was measured to explore the influence of the metal ion.

Abstract
End-on binding of dinitrogen to low valent metal centres is common in transition metal chemistry but remains extremely rare in f-elements chemistry. In particular, heterobimetallic end-on N2 bridged complexes of lanthanides are unprecedented despite their potential relevance in catalytic reduction of dinitrogen. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of N2 bridged heterobimetallic complexes of U(iii), Ln(iii) and Ln(ii) which were prepared by reacting the Fe dinitrogen complex [Fe(depe)2(N2)] (depe = 1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)-ethane), complex A with [MIII{N(SiMe3)2}3] (M = U, Ce, Sm, Dy, Tm) and [LnII{N(SiMe3)2}2], (Ln = Sm, Yb). Despite the lack of reactivity of the U(iii), Ln(iii) and Ln(ii) amide complexes with dinitrogen, the end-on dinitrogen bridged heterobimetallic complexes [{Fe(depe)2}(μ-η1:η1-N2)(M{N(SiMe3)2}3)], 1-M (M = U(iii), Ce(iii), Sm(iii), Dy(iii) and Tm(iii)), [{Fe(depe)2}(μ-η1:η1-N2)(Ln{N(SiMe3)2}2)], 1*-Ln (Ln = Sm(ii), Yb(ii)) and [{Fe(depe)2(μ-η1:η1-N2)}2{SmII{N(SiMe3)2}2}], 3 could be prepared. The synthetic method used here allowed to isolate unprecedented end-on bridging N2 complexes of divalent lanthanides which provide relevant structural models for the species involved in the catalytic reduction of dinitrogen by Fe/Sm(ii) systems. Computational studies showed an essentially electrostatic interaction of the end-on bridging N2 with both Ln(iii) and Ln(ii) complexes with the degree of N2 activation correlating with their Lewis acidity. In contrast, a back-bonding covalent contribution to the U(iii)-N2Fe bond was identified by computational studies. Computational studies also suggest that end-on binding of N2 to U(iii) and Ln(ii) complexes is favoured for the iron-bound N2 compared to free N2 due to the higher N2 polarization.

Abstract
The synthesis of previously unknown bis(cyclopentadienyl) complexes of the first transition metal, i.e., Sc(II) scandocene complexes, has been investigated using C5H2(tBu)3 (Cpttt), C5Me5 (Cp*), and C5H3(SiMe3)2 (Cp″) ligands. Cpttt2ScI, 1, formed from ScI3 and KCpttt, can be reduced with potassium graphite (KC8) in hexanes to generate dark-red crystals of the first crystallographically characterizable bis(cyclopentadienyl) scandium(II) complex, Cpttt2Sc, 2. Complex 2 has a 170.6° (ring centroid)-Sc-(ring centroid) angle and exhibits an eight-line EPR spectrum characteristic of Sc(II) with Aiso = 82.6 MHz (29.6 G). It sublimes at 200 °C at 10-4 Torr and has a melting point of 268-271 °C. Reductions of Cp*2ScI and Cp″2ScI under analogous conditions in hexanes did not provide new Sc(II) complexes, and reduction of Cp*2ScI in benzene formed the Sc(III) phenyl complex, Cp*2Sc(C6H5), 3, by C-H bond activation. However, in Et2O and toluene, reduction of Cp*2ScI at -78 °C gives a dark-red solution, 4, which displays an eight-line EPR pattern like that of 1, but it did not provide thermally stable crystals. Reduction of Cp″2ScI, in THF or Et2O at -35 °C in the presence of 2.2.2-cryptand, yields the green Sc(II) metallocene iodide complex, [K(crypt)][Cp″2ScI], 5, which was identified by X-ray crystallography and EPR spectroscopy and is thermally unstable. The analogous reaction of Cp*2ScI with KC8 and 18-crown-6 in Et2O gave the ligand redistribution product, [Cp*2Sc(18-crown-6-κ2O,O')][Cp*2ScI2], 6, as the only crystalline product. Density functional theory calculations on the electronic structure of these compounds are reported in addition to a steric analysis using the Guzei method.

Abstract
Dinitrogen cleavage provides an attractive but poorly studied route to the assembly of multimetallic nitride clusters. Here, we show that the monoelectron reduction of the dinitrogen complex [{U(OC6H2-But3-2,4,6)3}2(μ-η2:η2-N2)], 1, allows us to generate, for the first time, a uranium complex presenting a rare triply reduced N2 moiety ((μ-η2:η2-N2)•3-). Importantly, the bound dinitrogen can be further reduced, affording the U4N4 cubane cluster, 3, and the U6N6 edge-shared cubane cluster, 4, thus showing that (N2)•3- can be an intermediate in nitride formation. The tetranitride cluster showed high reactivity with electrophiles, yielding ammonia quantitatively upon acid addition and promoting CO cleavage to yield quantitative conversion of nitride into cyanide. These results show that dinitrogen reduction provides a versatile route for the assembly of large highly reactive nitride clusters, with U6N6 providing the first example of a molecular nitride of any metal formed from a complete cleavage of three N2 molecules.

Abstract
High-yield syntheses of the lanthanide dinitrogen complexes [(Cp2tttM)2(μ-1,2-N2)] (1M, M = Gd, Tb, Dy; Cpttt = 1,2,4-C5tBu3H2), in which the [N2]2- ligands solely adopt the rare end-on or 1,2-bridging mode, are reported. The bulk of the tert-butyl substituents and the smaller radii of gadolinium, terbium, and dysprosium preclude formation of the side-on dinitrogen bonding mode on steric grounds. Elongation of the nitrogen-nitrogen bond relative to N2 is observed in 1M, and their Raman spectra show a major absorption consistent with N═N double bonds. Computational analysis of 1Gd identifies that the local symmetry of the metallocene units lifts the degeneracy of two 5dπ orbitals, leading to differing overlap with the π* orbitals of [N2]2-, a consequence of which is that the dinitrogen ligand occupies a singlet ground state. Magnetic measurements reveal antiferromagnetic exchange in 1M and single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior in 1Dy. Ab initio calculations show that the magnetic easy axis in the ground doublets of 1Tb and 1Dy align with the {M-N═N-M} connectivity, in contrast to the usual scenario in dysprosium metallocene SMMs, where the axis passes through the cyclopentadienyl ligands. The [N2]2- ligands in 1M allow these compounds to be regarded as two-electron reducing agents, serving as synthons for divalent gadolinium, terbium, and dysprosium. Proof of principle for this concept is obtained in the reactions of 1M with 2,2'-bipyridyl (bipy) to give [Cp2tttM(κ2-bipy)] (2M, M = Gd, Tb, Dy), in which the lanthanide is ligated by a bipy radical anion, with strong metal-ligand direct exchange coupling.

Abstract
The chemistry of lanthanides is limited to one electron transfer reactions due to the difficulty of accessing multiple oxidation states. Here we report that a redox-active ligand combining three siloxides with an arene ring in a tripodal ligand can stabilize cerium complexes in four different redox states and can promote multielectron redox reactivity in cerium complexes. Ce(iii) and Ce(iv) complexes [(LO3)Ce(THF)] (1) and [(LO3)CeCl] (2) (LO3 = 1,3,5-(2-OSi(OtBu)2C6H4)3C6H3) were synthesized and fully characterized. Remarkably the one-electron reduction and the unprecedented two-electron reduction of the tripodal Ce(iii) complex are easily achieved to yield reduced complexes [K(2.2.2-cryptand)][(LO3)Ce(THF)] (3) and [K2{(LO3)Ce(Et2O)3}] (5) that are formally "Ce(ii)" and "Ce(i)" analogues. Structural analysis, UV and EPR spectroscopy and computational studies indicate that in 3 the cerium oxidation state is in between +II and +III with a partially reduced arene. In 5 the arene is doubly reduced, but the removal of potassium results in a redistribution of electrons on the metal. The electrons in both 3 and 5 are stored onto δ-bonds allowing the reduced complexes to be described as masked "Ce(ii)" and "Ce(i)". Preliminary reactivity studies show that these complexes act as masked Ce(ii) and Ce(i) in redox reactions with oxidizing substrates such as Ag+, CO2, I2 and S8 effecting both one- and two-electron transfers that are not accessible in classical cerium chemistry.

Abstract
Since the discovery in the early 1980s, the soluble divalent metallocenes of lanthanides have become a steadily growing field in organometallic chemistry. The predominant part of the investigation has been performed with samarium, europium, and ytterbium, whereas only a few reports dealing with other rare earth elements were disclosed. Reactions of these metallocenes can be divided into two major categories: (1) formation of Lewis acid-base complexes, in which the oxidation state remains +II; and (2) single electron transfer (SET) reductions with the ultimate formation of Ln(III) complexes. Due to the increasing reducing character from Eu(II) over Yb(II) to Sm(II), the plethora of literature concerning redox reactions revolves around the metallocenes of Sm and Yb. In addition, a few reactivity studies on Nd(II), Dy(II) and mainly Tm(II) metallocenes were published. These compounds are even stronger reducing agents but significantly more difficult to handle. In most cases, the metals are ligated by the versatile pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand: (C5Me5). Other cyclopentadienyl ligands are fully covered but only discussed in detail, if the ligand causes differences in synthesis or reactivity. Thus, the focus lays on three compounds: [(C5Me5)2Sm], [(C5Me5)2Eu] and [(C5Me5)2Yb] and their solvates. We discuss the synthesis and physical properties of divalent lanthanide metallocenes first, followed by an overview of the reactivity rendering the full potential of these versatile reactants.

Abstract
At the dawn of the development of structural organometallic chemistry, soon after the discovery of ferrocene, the description of the LnCp3 complexes, featuring large and mostly trivalent lanthanide ions, was rather original and sparked curiosity. Yet, the interest in these new architectures rapidly dwindled due to the electrostatic nature of the bonding between π-aromatic ligands and 4f-elements. Almost 70 years later, it is interesting to focus on how the discipline has evolved in various directions with the reports of multiple catalytic reactivities, remarkable potential in small molecule activation, and the development of rich redox chemistry. Aside from chemical reactivity, a better understanding of their singular electronic nature - not precisely as simplistic as anticipated - has been crucial for developing tailored compounds with adapted magnetic anisotropy or high fluorescence properties that have witnessed significant popularity in recent years. Future developments shall greatly benefit from the detailed reactivity, structural and physical chemistry studies, particularly in photochemistry, electro- or photoelectrocatalysis of inert small molecules, and manipulating the spins' coherence in quantum technology.

Abstract
The molecular structures of complexes [Sm(Nacnac)I(thf)n] (Nacnac = HC(C(Me)Ndipp)2-, dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, thf = tetrahydrofuran) depending on the number of thf ligands are studied. The complete removal of thf from a known complex [Sm(Nacnac)I(thf)2] leads to a tetranuclear product [Sm(Nacnac)I]4 (4). The partial removal of thf results in mixtures of dinuclear [Sm2(Nacnac)2I2(thf)] (2), trinuclear [Sm3(Nacnac)3I3(thf)] (3), and tetranuclear [Sm4(Nacnac)4I4(thf)2] (4*) complexes and 4, depending on the conditions. The reaction of solvent-free SmI2 with 1 equiv of K(Nacnac) results mainly in [Sm(Nacnac)2] (1), while the interaction of 4 with certain amounts of thf allows obtaining pure 2 and 3 (with the admixture of 4*). Complex 4* is the exact dimer of 2, and both compounds are stable in solutions. Reactions with 3 and 4 as reductants are studied. 4 is oxidized by I2 to stoichiometrically yield two products, mixed-valent tetranuclear [Sm4(Nacnac)4I5] (5) and binuclear [Sm(Nacnac)I2]2 (6) complexes. In the reaction of 4 with nBu3PTe, a trinuclear complex [Sm3(Nacnac)3(μ-I)3(μ3-E)2] (8, E = I or Te) is formed in small amounts, with the formation of 6 as the second product. 3 serves as a two-electron reductant in the reaction with nBu3PTe to yield a trinuclear complex [Sm3(Nacnac)3I3(μ-Te2)] (7). Complexes 2, 4, 4*, 5, 6, and 8 possess a unique flat SmxIy core of heavy atoms, which is assumed to be a consequence of the Nacnac ligand geometry.

Abstract
Examination of the reduction chemistry of Nd(NR2)3 (R = SiMe3) under N2 has provided connections between the in situ Ln(III)-based LnIII(NR2)3/K reductions of N2 that form side-on bound neutral (N=N)2- complexes, [(R2N)2(THF)Ln]2[μ-η2:η2-N2], and the Ln(II)-based [LnII(NR2)3]1- reductions by Sc, Gd, and Tb that form end-on bound (N=N)2- complexes, {[(R2N)3Ln]2[μ-η1:η1-N2]}2-, which are dianions. The reduction of Nd(NR2)3 by KC8 under dinitrogen in Et2O in the presence of 18-crown-6 (18-c-6) forms dark yellow solutions of [K2(18-c-6)3]{[(R2N)3Nd]2N2} at low temperatures that become green as they warm up to -35 °C in a glovebox freezer. Green crystals obtained from the solution turn yellow-brown when cooled below -100 °C, and the yellow-brown compound has an end-on Nd2(μ-η1:η1-N2) structure. The yellow-brown crystals isomerize in the solid state on the diffractometer upon warming, and at -25 °C, the crystals are green and have a side-on Nd2(μ-η2:η2-N2) structure. Collection of X-ray diffraction data at 10 °C intervals from -50 to -90 °C revealed that the isomerization occurs at temperatures below -100 °C. In the presence of tetrahydrofuran (THF), the dianionic {[(R2N)3Nd]2N2}2- system can lose an amide ligand to provide the monoanionic [(R2N)3NdIII(μ-η2:η2-N2)NdIII(NR2)2(THF)]1-, characterized by X-ray crystallography. These data suggest a connection between the in situ Ln(III)/K reductions and Ln(II) reductions that depends on solvent, temperature, the presence of a chelate, and the specific rare-earth metal.

Abstract
A convenient pathway to new molecular organo-lanthanide-polyarsenides in general and to a f-element complex with the largest polyarsenide ligand in detail is reported. For this purpose, the activation of the solid state material As0 nano (nanoscale gray arsenic) by the multi electron reducing agents [K(18-crown-6)][(Ln+II)2(μ-η6:η6-C6H6)] (Ln = La, Ce, Cp'' = 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl anion) and [K(18-crown-6)]2[(Ln+II)2(μ-η6:η6-C6H6)] (Ln = Ce, Nd) is shown. These non-classical divalent lanthanide compounds were used as three and four electron reducing agents where the product formation can be directed by variation of the applied reactant. The obtained Zintl anions As3 3-, As7 3-, and As14 4- were previously not accessible in molecular 4f-element chemistry. Additionally, the corresponding compounds with As14 4--moieties represent the largest organo-lanthanide-polyarsenides known to date.

Abstract
The reductive reactivity of a Ln(II) ion with a nontraditional 4fn5d1 electron configuration has been investigated by studying reactions of the {GdII(N(SiMe3)2)3]}- anion with a variety of reagents that survey the many reaction pathways available to this ion. The chemistry of both [K(18-c-6)2]+ and [K(crypt)]+ salts (18-c-6 = 18-crown-6; crypt = 2.2.2-cryptand) was examined to study the effect of the countercation. CS2 reacts with the crown salt [K(18-c-6)2][Gd(NR2)3] (1) to generate the bimetallic (CS3)2- complex {[K(18-c-6)](μ3-CS3-κS,κ2S',S'')Gd(NR2)2]}2, which contains two trithiocarbonate dianions that bridge Gd(III) centers and a potassium ion coordinated by 18-c-6. In contrast, the only crystalline product isolated from the reaction of CS2 with the crypt salt [K(crypt)][Gd(NR2)3] (2) is [K(crypt)]{(R2N)2Gd[SCS(CH2)Si(Me2)N(SiMe3)-κN,κS]}, which has a CS2 unit inserted into a cyclometalated amide ligand. Complexes 1 and 2 reductively couple pyridine to form bridging dipyridyl moieties, (NC5H4-C5H4N)2-, that generate bimetallic complexes differing only in the countercation, {[K(18-c-6)(C5H5N)2]}2{[(R2N)3Gd]2[μ-(NC5H4-C5H4N)2]} and [K(crypt)]2{[(R2N)3Gd]2[μ-(NC5H4-C5H4N)2]}. Complexes 1 and 2 also show similar reactivity with (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) to form the (TEMPO)- complexes [K(18-c-6)][(R2N)3Gd(η1-ONC5H6Me4)] and [K(crypt)][(R2N)3Gd(η1-ONC5H6Me4)], respectively. The first example of a bimetallic coordination complex containing a Bi-Gd bond, [K(crypt)][(R2N)3Gd(BiPh2)], was obtained by treating 2 with BiPh3.

Abstract
The capacity of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to provide information on the electronic structure of molecular organometallic complexes of Ln(II) ions (Ln = lanthanide) has been examined for the first time. XPS spectra were obtained on the air-sensitive molecular trivalent 4fn Cp'3LnIII complexes (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb; Cp' = C5H4SiMe3) and compared to those of the highly reactive divalent complexes, [K(crypt)][Cp'3LnII] (crypt = 2.2.2-cryptand), which have either 4fn+1 (Sm, Eu) or 4fn5d1 electron configurations (Gd, Tb). The Ln 4d, Si 2p, and C 1s regions of the Ln(III) and Ln(II) complexes were identified and compared. The metal 4d peaks of these molecular lanthanide complexes were used diagnostically to compare oxidation states. The valence region of the Gd(III) and Gd(II) complexes was also examined with XPS and density function theory/random phase approximation (DFT/RPA) calculations, and this led to the tentative assignment of a signal from the 5d1 electron consistent with a 4f75d1 electron configuration for Gd(II).

Abstract
The syntheses and molecular structures of new SmII and TmII N,N-dimethylaminodiboranate (DMADB) complexes are described. Treating SmI2(THF)2 with Na(H3BNMe2BH3) in THF results in the formation of Sm(H3BNMe2BH3)2(THF)3 (1), which can be readily converted to Sm(H3BNMe2BH3)2(DME)2 (DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) or Sm(H3BNMe2BH3)2(diglyme) by exchange with the corresponding ether. We also show that Sm(H3BNMe2BH3)2(THF)3 can be prepared by reduction of the SmIII compound Sm(H3BNMe2BH3)3(THF) with KC8 and that addition of 18-crown-6 to this reaction mixture results in the formation of the SmII compound Sm(H3BNMe2BH3)2(18-crown-6). In a similar fashion, two new TmII complexes have been synthesized: treatment of TmI2 in THF with Na(H3BNMe2BH3) results in the formation of Tm(H3BNMe2BH3)2(THF)2 and Tm(H3BNMe2BH3)2(THF)3, which form a cocrystal. IR data and elemental analyses are reported for all the new compounds, as are their crystal structures. 1H and 11B NMR data are provided where available.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis of mixed-valent (Ln(ii)/Ln(iii)) dilanthanide complexes supported by a calix[4]pyrrole ligand. The complexes are obtained by one-electron reduction of Ln(iii)/Ln(iii) complexes and are alkali-metal- and halide-free. The complexes are designed to activate small molecules by taking advantage of both the base and the one-electron reductant contained in their structure. We demonstrate a proof-of-principle concept of this mechanism by activating water and silanol.

Abstract
Activation of dinitrogen plays an important role in daily anthropogenic life, and the processes by which this fixation occurs have been a longstanding and significant research focus within the community. One of the major fields of dinitrogen activation research is the use of multimetallic compounds to reduce and/or activate N2 into a more useful nitrogen-atom source, such as ammonia. Here we report a comprehensive review of multimetallic-dinitrogen complexes and their utility toward N2 activation, beginning with the d-block metals from Group 4 to Group 11, then extending to Group 13 (which is exclusively populated by B complexes), and finally the rare-earth and actinide species. The review considers all polynuclear metal aggregates containing two or more metal centers in which dinitrogen is coordinated or activated (i.e., partial or complete cleavage of the N2 triple bond in the observed product). Our survey includes complexes in which mononuclear N2 complexes are used as building blocks to generate homo- or heteromultimetallic dinitrogen species, which allow one to evaluate the potential of heterometallic species for dinitrogen activation. We highlight some of the common trends throughout the periodic table, such as the differences between coordination modes as it relates to N2 activation and potential functionalization and the effect of polarizing the bridging N2 ligand by employing different metal ions of differing Lewis acidities. By providing this comprehensive treatment of polynuclear metal dinitrogen species, this Review aims to outline the past and provide potential future directions for continued research in this area.

Abstract
This article presented the synthesis and characterization of original heterobimetallic species combining a divalent lanthanide fragment and a divalent nickel center bridged by the bipyrimidine ligand, a redox-active ligand. X-ray crystal structures were obtained for the Ni monomer (bipym)NiMe2, 1, as well as the heterobimetallic dimer compounds, Cp*2Yb(bipym)NiMe2, 2, along with 1H solution NMR, solid-state magnetic data, and DFT calculations only for 1. The reactivity with CO was investigated on both compounds and the stoichiometric acetone formation is discussed based on kinetic and mechanistic studies. The key role of the lanthanide fragment was demonstrated by the relatively slow CO migratory insertion step, which indicated the stability of the intermediate.

Abstract
Electrides are a class of materials which contain excess electrons occupying the cavities in the crystal and playing the role of anions. To achieve electron-rich conditions, it usually requires a positive total formal charge in electride materials. However, the assignment of charges relies on a detailed analysis on chemical bonding. Herein, we present a survey on potential electrides which may be overlooked if no bonding analysis is performed. By applying various structure sampling techniques in conjunction with first-principles calculation, we predicted two compounds Ba2N2:e- and Li2Ca3N6:2e-, both of which are featured by the presence of dinitrogen ligands [N2], to be potential electrides. While Li2Ca3N6:2e- with [N2]2- ions has been synthesized in the past, its electride nature was discovered for the first time based on our high-throughput screening. On the other hand, Ba2N2:e- with [N2]3- ions is a new compound entirely from first-principles structure prediction. The different valence states of dinitrogen ligands identified in these two compounds suggest a novel route to tune the concentration and anisotropic properties of anionic interstitial electrons. Our discovery does not only establish a new class of inorganic electrides but also demonstrates the predictive power of modern crystal structure sampling techniques toward rational material design.

Abstract
The complexes [Cp'2Ln(μ-CH3)]2, (Cp' = C5H4SiMe3; Ln = Y, Tb, Dy) were reduced to determine if these methyl-bridged complexes would form mixed valent 4f n 5d1 Ln(II)/4f n Ln(III) compounds or bimetallic 4f n 5d1 Ln(II) compounds containing 5d1-5d1 metal-metal bonds upon reduction. Reaction of the known bridged-chloride complexes, [Cp'2Ln(μ-Cl)]2, 1-Ln (Ln = Y, Tb, Dy), with MeLi forms the bridged-methyl complexes [Cp'2Ln(μ-CH3)]2, 2-Ln, which were crystallographically characterized for Tb and Dy. KC8 reduction of 2-Ln in the presence of 2.2.2-cryptand produced 3-Y, 3-Tb, and 3-Dy, which exhibited intense dark colors and broad absorbance peaks around 400 nm with molar extinction coefficients of 1700, 2300, and 1800 M-1 cm-1, respectively, which are characteristics of Ln(II) ions. The dark maroon 3-Y product had an axial electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum at 77 K (g 1 = 1.99, A 1 = 17.9 G; g 2 = 2.00, A 2 = 17.7 G) and a two-line isotropic spectrum at 273 K (g = 1.99, A = 18.4 G), which indicates that an Y(II) ion is present. Although these results are indicative of Ln(II) ions present in the solution, crystallographic evidence was not obtained to establish the structure of these complexes.

Abstract
The suitability of aryloxide ligands for stabilizing +2 oxidation states of Sc and Y has been examined and EPR evidence indicating the first O-donor complexes of ScII and YII has been obtained, as well as an X-ray crystal structure of a ScII aryloxide complex. The trivalent rare-earth metal aryloxide precursors, Ln(OAr')3 , 1-Ln (Ln=Sc, Y, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er; OAr'=OC6 H2 tBu2 -2,6-Me-4), were synthesized from the corresponding rare-earth metal trichlorides and LiOAr'⋅OEt2 . Reduction of THF solutions of 1-Ln with potassium graphite in the presence of 2.2.2-cryptand (crypt) yielded dark-colored solutions, 2-Ln, whose EPR spectra at 77 K are characteristic of the LnII ions: a two-line spectrum (g∥ =1.99, g□ =1.97, Aave =154 G) for 2-Y and an eight-line spectrum (gave =2.01 and Aave =291 G) for 2-Sc. Solutions of 2-Y decompose within one minute at room temperature, wheras 2-Sc persists up to 40 min at room temperature. 2-Sc was identified by X-ray crystallography as [K(crypt)][Sc(OAr')3 ], which has a trigonal-planar arrangement of oxygen-donor atoms around ScII . Analogous reductions of 1-Ln for Ln=Gd, Dy, Ho, and Er also gave dark solutions of limited stability. Theoretical analysis using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) along with complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) methods, and structural analysis with the Guzei ligand solid angle G-parameter method are presented.

Abstract
To expand the range of synthetic options for generating complexes of the actinide metals in the +2 oxidation state, reduction of Cp″3U (Cp″ = C5H3(SiMe3)2) and the lanthanide analogs, Cp″3La and Cp″3Ce with lithium in the absence of crown ether and cryptand chelates was explored. In each case, crystallographically characterizable [Li(THF)4][Cp″3M] complexes were obtainable in yields of 70-75% for M = La and Ce and 45-50% for M = U, that is, chelating agents are not necessary to sequester the lithium countercation to form isolable crystalline M(II) products. Reductions using Cs were also explored and X-ray crystallography revealed the formation of an oligomeric structure, [Cp″U(μ-Cp")2Cs(THF)2] n, involving Cp″ ligands that bridge "(Cp″UII)1+" moieties to "[Cp″2Cs(THF)2]1-" units.

Abstract
Nd, like U, prefers a f4 configuration with the tris(aryloxide)arene ligand rather than the 4f35d1 configuration found in tris(cyclopentadienyl) complexes.
A new series of Ln3+ and Ln2+ complexes has been synthesized using the tris(aryloxide)arene ligand system, ((Ad,MeArO)3mes)3–, recently used to isolate a complex of U2+. The triphenol precursor, (Ad,MeArOH)3mes, reacts with the Ln3+ amides, Ln(NR2)3 (R = SiMe3), to form a series of [((Ad,MeArO)3mes)Ln] complexes, 1-Ln. Crystallographic characterization was achieved for Ln = Nd, Gd, Dy, and Er. The complexes 1-Ln can be reduced with potassium graphite in the presence of 2.2.2-cryptand (crypt) to form highly absorbing solutions with properties consistent with Ln2+ complexes, [K(crypt)][((Ad,MeArO)3mes)Ln], 2-Ln. The synthesis of the Nd2+ complex [K(crypt)][((Ad,MeArO)3mes)Nd], 2-Nd, was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallography. In the case of the other lanthanides, crystals were found to contain mixtures of 2-Ln co-crystallized with either a Ln3+ hydride complex, [K(crypt)][((Ad,MeArO)3mes)LnH], 3-Ln, for Ln = Gd, Dy, and Er, or a hydroxide complex, [K(crypt)][((Ad,MeArO)3mes)Ln(OH)], 4-Ln, for Ln = Dy. A Dy2+ complex with 18-crown-6 as the potassium chelator, [K(18-crown-6)(THF)2][((Ad,MeArO)3mes)Dy], 5-Dy, was isolated as a co-crystallized mixture with the Dy3+ hydride complex, [K(18-crown-6)(THF)2][((Ad,MeArO)3mes)DyH], 6-Dy. Structural comparisons of 1-Ln and 2-Ln are presented with respect to their uranium analogs and correlated with density functional theory calculations on their electronic structures.
