The first series of lanthanide amido complexes incorporating a neutral pyrrole ligand in a constrained geometry architecture were synthesized, and their bonding, reactions, and catalytic activities were studied. Treatment of [(Me3Si)2N]3Ln(μ-Cl)Li(THF)3 with 1 equiv of (N-C6H5NHCH2CH2)(2,5-Me2C4H2N) (1) afforded the first example of bisamido lanthanide complexes having the neutral pyrrole η5-bonded
