Molecular hydrides of the rare‐earth metals play an important role as homogeneous catalysts and as counterparts of solid‐state interstitial hydrides. Structurally well‐characterized non‐metallocene‐type hydride complexes allow the study of elementary reactions that occur at rare‐earth‐metal centers and of catalytic reactions involving bonds between rare‐earth metals and hydrides. In addition to neutral hydrides, cationic derivatives have now become available.
