Abstract
Straightforward access to a cerium(IV)-carbene complex was provided by one-electron oxidation of an anionic "ate" cerium(III)-carbene precursor, thereby avoiding decomposition reactions that plague oxidations of neutral cerium(III) compounds. The cerium(IV)-carbene complex is the first lanthanide(IV)-element multiple bond and involves a twofold bonding interaction of two electron pairs between cerium and carbon.Entities:
