Protonolysis of [YMe3]n with 2-{(N-2,6-dialkylphenyl)iminomethyl)}pyrroles (alkyl = iPr (L1), Me (L2)) gave homoleptic iminopyrrolyl complexes YL13 and YL23 as well as the complex [L2YL2,Me]2 containing a dianionic pyrrolaldiminato ligand, formed via methylation of the imino backbone. Treatment of the half-sandwich complex [(C5Me5)YMe2]3 and yttrocene (C5Me5)2YMe(THF) with either 2 or 1 equiv of HL afforded the monomeric complexes (C5Me5)YL2 and (C5Me5)2YL,respectively. The complex (C5Me5)YL22 readily underwent Ln鈫扐l iminopyrrolyl ligand transfer in the presence of trimethylaluminum, producing the known (C5Me5)Y(AlMe4)2. Salt metatheses of homoleptic Ln(AlMe4)3 (Ln = Y, La) with KL gave complicated reaction mixtures from which the 畏5/畏1:魏1 pyrrolaldiminato-bridged complex [L1,MeLa(AlMe4)]2 and bis(tetramethylaluminate) complex L2Y(AlMe4)2 could be isolated and crystallographically characterized. Moreover, the solid-state structures of YL23, [L2YL2,Me]2, (C5Me5)YL12, (C5Me5)2YL1, and L2AlMe2 are presented.
