The reaction of a neodymium “ate” complex and an electron-rich transition metal chloride by salt elimination is an efficient method for synthesizing heterobinuclear compounds which contain a lanthanide and a Group 9 or 10 metal [Eq. (1), H2Ap=2-amino-4-methylpyridine]. The use of bisaminopyridinato ligands allows extremely short distances between Rh or Pd and Nd.
