The high reactivity accessible from the reduction of the tris(amide) complexes Ln(NR2)3(R = SiMe3) with potassium graphite in the presence of a variety of ethers is demonstrated by crystal structures of six different types of products of C–O bond cleavage reactions with Ln = Y, Ho, Er, and Lu. Specifically, 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) can be cleaved in Ln(NR2)3/KC8reactions as shown by three different types of crystals: [K (crypt)][(R2N)3Y(OCH2CH2OCH3)],1-Y, [(R2N)2Y(μ-OCH2CH2OCH3-κO,κO′)]2,2-Y, and [K2(18-c-6)3]{[(R2N)3Lu]2[(μ-OCH2CH2O)]},3-Lu(18-c-6 = 18-crown-6; crypt = 2.2.2-cryptand). THF can be ring opened by the Y(NR2)3/KC8reaction system, as shown by crystals of the butoxide, [K(crypt)][(R2N)3Y(OCH2CH2CH2CH3)],4-Y. The cyclic ether, oxetane, OC3H6, ring opens in Ln(NR2)3/KC8reactions to form crystals of the propoxide, [K(18-c-6)(OC3H6)][(R2N)3Ln(OCH2CH2CH3)],5-Ln, for Ln = Ho and Er. In Et2O, the Y(NR2)3/KC8reactions do not attack the solvent, but C–O cleavage of 18-c-6 is observed to form {[(R2N)2]Y[μ-η1:η1-O2(C10H20O4)K]}2,6-Y. These Ln(NR2)3/KC8C–O cleavage reactions are typically accompanied by C–H bond activation reactions, which form cyclometalates such as [K(crypt)]{(R2N)2Ln[N(SiMe3)(SiMe2CH2)-κC,κN]},7-Ln(Ln = Y, Ho, Er), and [K(18-c-6)]{(R2N)2Y[N(SiMe3)(SiMe2CH2)-κC,κN]},8-Y, which are common decomposition products of Ln(NR2)3reactions. In addition, in this study, the hydride complex, [K(18-c-6)][(R2N)3YH],9-Y, was isolated. NMR analysis indicates that the yttrium reactions form mixtures that consistently contain the yttrium cyclometalates7-Yand8-Yas major components. These results show the diversity of available reaction pathways for the Ln(NR2)3/KC8system and highlight the inherent difficulties in isolating Ln(II) complexes containing the [Ln(NR2)3]1–anion.
