Abstract
The first examples of RE/Si FLPs (RE: rare-earth metal, FLPs: frustrated Lewis pairs), namely Yb/Si FLPs were synthesized, where Yb⋯Si distances are in the range of 3.55 to 3.72 Å. These FLPs react with triphenylphosphine sulfide and aryl isocyanide to produce novel silylyne group transfer products through dissociation of naphthalene.

Abstract
Complexes formed between the heaviest and lightest elements in the periodic table yield the f-block hydrides, a unique class of compounds with wide-ranging utility and interest, from catalysis to light-responsive materials and nuclear waste storage. Recent developments in syntheses and analytics, such as exploiting low-oxidation state metal ions and improvements in X-ray diffraction tools, have transformed our ability to understand, access and manipulate these important species. This perspective brings together insights from binary metal hydrides, with molecular solution phase studies on heteroleptic complexes and gas phase investigations. It aims to provide an overview of how the f-element influences hydride formation, structure and reactivity including the sometimes-surprising power of co-ligands to tune their behaviour towards a variety of applications.

Abstract
Well-defined low-valent molecular rare-earth metal hydrides are rare, and limited to Yb2+ and Eu2+ centers. Here, we report the first example of the divalent samarium(ii) hydrido complex [(CpAr5)SmII(μ-H)(DABCO)]2 (4) (CpAr5 = C5Ar5, Ar = 3,5-iPr2-C6H3; DABCO = 1,4-diazabicyclooctane) supported by a super-bulky penta-arylcyclopentadienyl ligand, resulting from the hydrogenolysis of the samarium(ii) alkyl complex [(CpAr5)SmII{CH(SiMe3)2}(DABCO)] (3). Complex 4 exhibits multi-electron redox reactivity toward a variety of substrates. Exposure of complex 4 to CO2 results in the formation of the trivalent samarium(iii) mixed-bis-formate/carbonate complex [(CpAr5)SmIII(μ-η2:η1-O2CH)(μ-η2:η2-CO3)(μ-η1:η1-O2CH)SmIII(CpAr5)(DABCO)] (8), mediated by hydride insertion and reductive disproportionation reactions. Complex 4 shows four-electron reduction toward four equivalents of CS2 to afford the trivalent samarium(iii) bis-trithiocarbonate complex [(CpAr5)SmIII(μ-η2:η2-CS3)(DABCO)]2 (9). A mechanistic study of the formation of complex 8 was carried out using DFT calculations.

Abstract
The bulky β-diketiminate ligand frameworks [BDIDCHP]- and [BDIDipp/Ar]- (BDI=[HC{C(Me)2N-Dipp/Ar}2]- (Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl (Dipp); Ar=2,6-dicyclohexylphyenyl (DCHP) or 2,4,6-tricyclohexylphyenyl (TCHP)) have been developed for the kinetic stabilisation of the first europium (II) hydride complexes, [(BDIDCHP)Eu(μ-H)]2, [(BDIDipp/DCHP)Eu(μ-H)]2 and [(BDIDipp/TCHP)Eu(μ-H)]2, respectively. These complexes represent the first step beyond the current lanthanide(II) hydrides that are all based on ytterbium. Tuning the steric profile of β-diketiminate ligands from a symmetrical to unsymmetrical disposition, enhanced solubility and stability in the solution-state. This provides the first opportunity to study the structure and bonding of these novel Eu(II) hydride complexes crystallographically, spectroscopically and computationally, with their preliminary reactivity investigated.

Abstract
The number of rare earth (RE) starting materials used in synthesis is staggering, ranging from simple binary metal-halide salts to borohydrides and "designer reagents" such as alkyl and organoaluminate complexes. This review collates the most important starting materials used in RE synthetic chemistry, including essential information on their preparations and uses in modern synthetic methodologies. The review is divided by starting material category and supporting ligands (i.e., metals as synthetic precursors, halides, borohydrides, nitrogen donors, oxygen donors, triflates, and organometallic reagents), and in each section relevant synthetic methodologies and applications are discussed.

Abstract
Treatment of a divalent ytterbium hydride complex [(TpAd,iPr)Yb(H)(THF)] (TpAd,iPr = hydrotris(3-adamantyl-5-isopropyl-pyrazolyl)borate) (1) with CO, CO2 and CS2 resulted in the formation of a divalent ytterbium ethenediolate complex [(TpAd,iPr)Yb]2(cis-OCHCHO) (2), a formate complex [(TpAd,iPr)Yb(κ2-O2CH)(THF)] (3), and a trivalent ytterbium ethenetetrathiolate complex [(TpAd,iPr)YbIII]2(C2S4) (4), respectively. DFT calculations were carried out to elucidate the reaction profiles of complexes 3 and 4.

Abstract
The first mononuclear divalent ytterbium hydride complex [(TpAd,iPr)Yb(H)(THF)] (TpAd,iPr = hydrotris(3-adamantyl-5-isopropyl-pyrazolyl)borate) (2) bearing a terminal hydrido ligand was obtained by hydrogenolysis of the benzyl precursor in hexane. Complex 2 exhibited two different reaction patterns towards allenes: Yb-H addition with cyclohexylallene and deprotonation of 1,1-dimethylallene.
