Abstract
This comprehensive review covers the progress of rare earth chemistry with formamidinate ligands to date. The ligands involved offer varying steric and electronic effects and focus on the N,N′-bis(aryl)formamidinates. Synthetic pathways to divalent, trivalent and tetravalent complexes, their structural aspects, reactivity and potential applications in catalysis are extensively discussed.
