Abstract
Summary of main observation and conclusionDivalent ytterbium iodide [LYb(μ‐I)(THF)]2 (1; L = [MeC(NDIPP)CHC(Me)NCH2CH2NMe2]−, DIPP = 2,6‐(iPr)2C6H3) was synthesized and its reactivity was studied. Complex 1 was synthesized by salt metathesis of YbI2(THF)2 with the potassium salt of ligand (KL) in high yield. In the reactions with trimethylsilyl azide, azobenzene, sulfur and diphenyl disulfide, complex 1 acts as a 2e reductant. In the reaction with CO2, the central carbon atom of β‐diketiminato backbone in 1 nucleophilically attacks the CO2 molecule to give a divalent ytterbium carboxylate.
