The general objectives of much of our research is based on the synthesis of unusual. aprotic organometallic and coordination compounds ML(L')n. Thus we use bulky, (Me)n ligands free from �-H, and often SiMe3-containing. The ML(L')n which we seek are unusual, lipophilic and thermally stable but reactive compounds.In the present context, the themes are the synthesis and structures of the first: (i)  La(II), Ce(II), and Nd(II) molecular compounds, (ii)  Ce(IV) amido-oxides from Ce(III) amides [Ce{N(SiMe3)2}3] or [Ce(TMP)3], and(iii) complexes containing di- and tri- anionic �-diketiminato ligands.
