C-C coupling and C-H bond activation - Unexpected pathways in the reactions of [Yb(η5-C13H9)2(thf) 2] with diazadienes

A couple of surprises: The reactions of [(C13H9) 2Yb(thf)2] with diazadienes (2,6-iPr2C 6H3) N=CR-CR=N (2,6-iPr2C6H 3) (R = H, Me) result in unexpected YbII complexes, which arise either from the coupling of the fluorene and the diazadiene ligands (when R = H, see picture) or from C-H bond activation of the diazadiene ligand (when R = Me).
