For many years it has been known that trialkylaluminum complexes will add to lanthanide complexes containing bulky stabilizing co-ligands to form bridged heterometallic species such as those given in Scheme 1 . Recently, we have shown that AIMe, will also bridge and stabilize metal ligand combinations such as Y(OCMe,), in [ y { ( p - OCMe,)(p-Me)A1Me,},][91 and [(C5H,SiMe,)Y(OCMe3),1 in [(C5H,SiMe,)Y{(p-OCMe,)(p-Me)A1Me,),l .[' I We now report that AIMe, will not only react with soluble reagents containing bulky ligands, but that it will also react with and solubilize the insoluble materials formed from reactions of lanthanide halides with small anionic hgands. The reaction of anhydrous NdCI, with three equivalents of LiNMe, (Z = NMe,) in THF at room temperature formed a blue material which was identified as 1 a [Eq. (a)]. Reaction of AIMe, or GaMe, with a suspension of 1 a in hexane yielded the hexane- soluble products 2a (violet-blue) and 2 b (blue), respectively. NdCI, + 3 LiNMe, la The Use of Heterometallic Bridging Moieties To Generate Tractable Lanthanide Complexes of Small Ligands ** William J. Evans,* Reiner Anwander, Robert J. Doedens, and Joseph W. Ziller Dedicated to Professor M . Frederick Hawthorne on the occasion of his 65th birrhduy Lanthanide chemistry is dominated by large, anionic ligands which meet the steric and electronic demands of these large electropositive metals. On the other hand, the chemistry of simple lanthanide complexes of general formula LnZ, in which Z is a small anionic ligand such as methanide, methanolate, ethanolate. or dimethylamido. is poorly developed since these complexes are either unstable or insoluble.[',21 The only ho- moleptic lanthanide complexes with small ligands which are tractable enough to be definitively characterized by X-ray crys- tallography are the hexamethyl ate complexes [LnMe,13- of the late lanthanides Ho, Er, and L u . [ ~ ] We describe here a method for the synthesis of isolable, sol- uble lanthanide complexes of small ligands Z (Z = NMe,, Me) which also provides a convenient route to heterometallic com- plexes which have
