When 5)2(C5H4Me)l (C3N2H2Me2-3,5 = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole) is recrystallized by slow diffusion of hexane into a thf solution which contains a small amount of dimethylsilicone grease, it is converted into to the unexpected complex [{Yb(rl2-C3N2HMe2-3,5)(~-rll:y2-OSiMe2C3N2HMe2-3,5)(r-CgHqMe)}2l indicating a novel Me2Si0 insertion react ion.
