Abstract
Pulsed EPR hyperfine spectroscopy of the formal rare earth(ii) arene complexes [REII(NHAriPr6)2] (2M, M = Sc, Y, La; NHAriPr6 = {N(H)C6H3-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-iPr3)2}), supported by DFT, reveals extensive delocalisation of spin density to the arene ring bound to the metal (56–73% Mulliken spin population, 42–53% Löwdin orbital population of SOMO, from DFT). Hence, they are RE(ii) complexes in a formal sense only.
