Abstract

This comprehensive review summarizes recent developments and trends in the use of lanthanide metallocenes in homogeneous catalysis. σ-Alkyl and hydride complexes such as (C5Me5)2LnCH (SiMe3)2 and [(C5Me5)2Ln(μ-H)]2 play a key role as precatalysts in organolanthanide mediated reactions. The design and synthesis of such complexes is outlined first. This is followed by a description of various processes catalyzed by lanthanide metallocenes such as olefin, diene, and alkyne transformations. Olefin transformations include oligomerizations and polymerization as well as a variety of addition reactions. In some instances catalyst activities are exceedingly high as compared to conventional d-transition metal catalysts.
