Watson, Patricia L.
, p. 276 - 277 (1983)
Bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)lutetium complexes Lu(η5-C5Me5)2R (R=Me, H) react at 20-50 deg C in hydrocarbon solvents with benzene, pyridine, the ylide CH2PPh3, and tetramethylsilane to give stable, isolatable products of C-H activation, i.e. metallation at a carbon of the reagent with extrusion of R-H.
