Abstract

{The preparation of phosphine complexes of the group 3 elements yttrium and lanthanum and the lanthanide metal lutetium is described. The reaction of 2 equiv of lithium salt of the mixed-donor ligand LiN(SiMe2CH2PR2)2 (R = Me, Ph, Pr(i)) with YCl3 or LuCl3 (R = Me only) leads to the formation of the bis(ligand) complexes MCl[N(SiMe2CH2PR2)2]2. The analogous lanthanum derivative requires the use of the corresponding potassium salt KN(SiMe2CH2PR2)2 (R = Me, Ph) with anhydrous LaCl3 to generate good yields of LaCl(N(SiMe2CH2PR2)2]2. Replacement of the remaining chloride with a hydrocarbyl ligand can be achieved for M = Y and Lu to generate MR[N(SiMe2CH2PMe2)2]2 (M = Y
