Abstract

Abstract : Synthesis of rare earth complexes from free rare earth metals offers advantages such as only one air/moisture sensitive reagent, and often simpler work up than metathesis reactions where alkali metal halide retention can be a problem. Redox transmetallation/protolysis reactions are highly successful but are inhibited by the use of toxic mercurials. Triarylbismuth compounds offer a possible greener alternative.
