Isolation and structural characterization of a polyhydrido lanthanide cluster complex consisting of (C5Me4SiMe3)LuH2 units

Reaction of the mixed alkyl/hydride complex [Cp′Lu(CH2SiMe3)(μ-H)(THF)]2 (2; Cp′ = C3Me4SiMe3) with 1 equiv of PhSiH3 (per Lu) in benzene or OEt2 afforded the polyhydrido cluster [Cp′LuH2]4 (3), while hydrogenolysis of 2 with H2 (1 atm) in THF yielded the THF-coordinated complex [Cp′Lu(μ-H)2]4(THF) (4). Complexes 3 and 4 are interconvertible, without decomposition or ligand redistribution.
