Benzene, toluene, tert-butylbenzene, or biphenyl virtually do not react with NdI2 (1) or DyI2 (2) in THF at -20degreesC but appreciably accelerate the reactions of these salts with solvents, resulting in LnI(3) and intractable mixtures of products of the general composition [LnI(H)(R)(THF)] (R are fragments of the THF molecule). The same effect is induced by the addition of diphenylmercury or tetraphenyltin to solutions of 1 or 2. Phenol easily oxidizes 1 and 2 to give at 0 degreesC the PhOLnI(2)(THF)(x) complexes (x = 3, 4) in 55-95% yields. At -90 degreesC, iodide 2 is converted into a similar complex PhODyI2(THF)(4), whereas 1 gives a mixture of PhONdI2(THF)(4), (PhO)(2)NdI(THF)(5), NdI3(THF)(3), and [NdI(H)R(THF)]. A plausible pathway of the reactions including the intermediate formation of extremely reactive monovalent lanthanide iodides LnI is discussed.

The iodide hydrides NdI2H (1) and DyI2H (2) were obtained by the reactions of diiodides NdI2 (3) and DyI2 (4) with hydrogen at atmospheric pressure and temperature of 120–200 °C. Hydrolysis of products 1 and 2 gives hydrogen in a high yield. The reactions of 1 with phenol and of 2 with isopropyl alcohol in THF afford the iodide phenoxide NdI2(OPh)(THF)4 and iodide isopropoxide DyI2(OPri)(PriOH)3, respectively
