<br/>Despite a growing understanding of the chemical bonding between transition metals and 4f elements, the application of d−4f metal interactions in homogenous catalysis has rarely been studied. Recently, we synthesized a family of heterobimetallic d-4f complexes comprising a group 10 metal and a lanthanide ion. Variation of both the group 10 metal and the lanthanide ion impacts the activity and selectivity of these catalysts in alkyne semi-hydrogenation.
