Fathoming Synthesis Strategies for Rare-Earth-Metal Trimethyl Compounds

Abstract The synthesis of alkali-metal-free compounds [LnMe3]n is scrutinized using two distinct protocols. The donor-promoted cleavage of homoleptic tetramethylaluminate complexes Ln(AlMe4)3 proves rare-earth metal (Ln) size-dependent and gives access to [LnMe3]n (small to midsi...
