The production of over 400 grams of pure gadolinium metal by reduction of the anhydrous chloride by calcium in tantalum vessels is described; yields were over 97%. The use of the same techniques in an attempt to prepare yttrium metal were partially successful.

The rare-earth metal hydroxylamide compound Y[N(SiHMe2)2]2[ONBn2][THF] (1) was prepared by the silylamide elimination pathway from the reaction of N,N-dibenzylhydroxylamine, Bn2NOH (Bn = CH2C6H5), with Y[N(SiHMe2)2]3[THF]2 and was characterised by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The compounds [Cp2Y(ONBn2)]2 (2a) [Cp2Sm(ONBn2)]2 (2b) were obtained by the reactions of MCp3 (...
