Coordination Chemistry of Rare Earth Alkoxides, Aryloxides, and Hydroxides

Coordination Chemistry of Rare Earth Alkoxides, Aryloxides, and Hydroxides 

Rare Earth Coordination Chemistry Fundamentals and Applications Edited by Chunhui Huang 2010 John Wiley Sons (Asia) Pte Ltd. ISBN 978-0-470-82485-6 

The discussion below starts with the general synthesis of lanthanide alkoxides, followed by a summary of the OR (R = aliphatic or aryl) coordination modes. Selected examples of complexes will then be presented in order to illustrate the coordination chemistry unique to each class of these ligands (aliphatic alkoxido, aryloxido, and macrocyclic polyaryloxido). Toward the end, catalytic and materials applications of lanthanide alkoxide complexes will be discussed.
