Synthesis and Reactivity of a Cerium(III) Scorpionate Complex Containing a Redox Non-Innocent 2,2′-Bipyridine Ligand

The Ce(III) hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate complex [Ce(TpMe2)2(κ2-dmpz)] (1) (TpMe2 = {HB(dmpz)3}−; dmpz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazolide) was isolated in fair yield from the reaction of [Ce(I)3(THF)4] with two equivalents of [K(TpMe2)] via the facile decomposition of TpMe2. [Ce(TpMe2)2(bipy)] (2) w...
