Abstract The reaction of Cp2LuCl with sodium naphthalenide gives an anionic hydride complex [(Cp2LuH)3H][Na(THF)6] (1) and complex Cp2Lu(2-C10H7)(THF) (2) containing a σ-bonded naphthyl ligand. The structure of1 was confirmed by X-ray analysis. When Cp2YCl is used as the starting material, Cp3Y and an anionic hydride complex also containing a σ-naphthyl ligand are formed. A reaction mechanism involving the formation of an unstable complex [(Cp2Ln+)2(C10H2 8-)] (4) and its fragmentation into hydride and σ-naphthyl species is proposed.
