Abstract
Molecular hydride complexes have attracted recent attention, and divalent lanthanides as central atoms in particular are very interesting. They open up possibilities of combining hydride reactivity and lanthanide reactivity. To date, only Yb(II), Eu(II) and Sm(II) as well as a mixed‐valent Dy(II)/Dy(III) hydride complexes have been isolated and characterised but the known examples are still low in numbers. In this contribution the development of divalent lanthanide chemistry is summarised, and structural features, reactivity patterns in stoichiometric and catalytic reactions as well as spectroscopic details are outlined.
