Abstract:This work reports the cooperative reactivity of rare‐earth aryloxide complexes with N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) or N‐heterocyclic olefin (NHO), showcasing their synergistic effect in the activation of H2 and diverse organic substrates. Reactions of RE(OAr)3 (RE = La, Sm, and Y; Ar = 2,6‐tBu2‐C6H3) with unsaturated NHC ItBu (:C[N(R)CH]2, R = tBu) isolate abnormally bound RE metal NHC complexes RE/aNHC. In contrast, no metal‐NHO adducts were formed when RE(OAr)3 were treated with NHO (R2C=C[N(R)C(R)]2, R = CH3… Show more
