SiÀH bond activation with lanthanide alkyl and hydride compounds is known to yield hydrides or silyl complexes by σbond metathesis, which is a fundamental step for several important catalytic processes, such as dehydropolymerization of silanes and hydrosilylation of unsaturated organic compounds.[1] Although a few reports on hydrosilylation of alkenes and imines and dehydrogenative silylation of amines with lanthanide amides have appeared,[2] studies on reactions of amides with hydrosilanes are still very scant. It has been shown that silanolysis of a LnÀN bond can give the lanthanide hydride with the formation of a new SiÀN bond.[3] The related approaches on the isolation and structural characterization of lanthanide complexes with hydrosilylamido ligands revealed the existence of interesting agostic β-(SiÀH)··· Ln interactions, which can be viewed as modes for understanding the nature of the initial SiÀH coordination to the metal centers.[4]Although several types of agostic lanthanide hydrosilylamido complexes have been obtained by the employment of [N (SiMe2H) 2] À and [tBuN (SiMe2H)] À ligands, their reactivity has been virtually unexplored.[5] A few metal hydrosilylamido complexes can be converted into the corresponding silanimine complexes by either SiÀH σ-bond metathesis or oxidative addition to the metal centers.[6a, f] These unsaturated silicon complexes, although very rare in number, have been shown to display interesting structural features and reactivity.[6] Inspired by these findings, we became interested in the investigation of primary aminosilanes with an HNÀSiH3 linkage in lanthanide chemistry, as the elimination of hydrogen may take place to give lanthanide silanimine complexes. In addition, primary silanes are normally much more reactive and may undergo multiple reactions involving the SiÀH bonds, which may allow us to study the unexplored fate of agostic complexes. In this vein,
