Reactions of lanthanoid species with carbodiimides (RN ═ C ═ NR') show considerable variety. Thus, treatment of the divalent 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-ethylphenolatosamarium complex, [Sm(OAr)(thf)]·PhMe with N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide (iPrNCNiPr) resulted in the formation of the oxalamidinatosamarium(III) complex [(OArEt)₂Sm(μ-C₂N₄iPr₄)Sm(OAr)₂]·2PhMe (1). In contrast, the use of the bulkier N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (CyNCNCy) led to the formation of a formamidinatosamarium(III) complex [Sm(OAr)(CyNC(H)NCy)(thf)]⋅2thf (2). Reactions between rare earth metals (RE = Yb, Eu) with one molar equivalent of bis(phenylethynyl)mercury (Hg(PhCC)) and two molar equivalents of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (CyNCNCy) in tetrahydrofuran (thf) at room temperature yielded lanthanoid C-phenylethynylamidinate complexes, trivalent [Yb{CyNC(C≡CPh)NCy}]·2thf (3) and divalent [Eu{CyNC(C≡CPh)NCy}₂(thf)₂] (4). [Sm(OAr)(thf)].PhMe was obtained from SmI(thf) and the in situ generated potassium aryl oxide and is a five-coordinate monomer with a stereochemistry between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal.
镧系元素物种与碳二亚胺(RN═C═NR')的反应表现出相当大的多样性。因此,用N,N'-二异丙基碳二亚胺(iPrNCNiPr)处理二价的2,6-二叔丁基-4-乙基苯酚钐配合物[Sm(OAr)(thf)]·PhMe,得到草酰胺基钐(III)配合物[(OArEt)₂Sm(μ-C₂N₄iPr₄)Sm(OAr)₂]·2PhMe(1)。相比之下,使用体积更大的N,N'-二环己基碳二亚胺(CyNCNCy)则导致甲脒基钐(III)配合物[Sm(OAr)(CyNC(H)NCy)(thf)]⋅2thf(2)的形成。在室温下,稀土金属(RE = Yb,Eu)与一摩尔当量的双(苯乙炔基)汞(Hg(PhCC))和两摩尔当量的N,N'-二环己基碳二亚胺(CyNCNCy)在四氢呋喃(thf)中反应,生成镧系元素的C-苯乙炔基脒配合物,三价的[Yb{CyNC(C≡CPh)NCy}]·2thf(3)和二价的[Eu{CyNC(C≡CPh)NCy}₂(thf)₂](4)。[Sm(OAr)(thf)].PhMe由SmI(thf)和原位生成的芳基氧化钾制得,是一种五配位单体,其立体化学介于三角双锥和四方锥之间。
