Among the first of their kind : Scandium boryl complex 1 and its Gd analogue were prepared by reaction of a boryl lithium compound with [Ln(CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 2 (THF) x ][BPh 4 ] (Ln=Sc, Gd). Reaction of 1 with N , N ′‐diisopropylcarbodiimide gave bis(amidinate) complex 2 , which affords 3 by double CO insertion into the ScB bond, nucleophilic addition of an amidinate, and migration of the SiMe 3 to the resulting ketene moiety (see scheme).
