The half-sandwich complexes (C<sub>5</sub>Me<sub>5</sub>)­Ln­[(AlMe<sub>3</sub>)­{B­(NDippCH)<sub>2</sub>}]<sub>2</sub> thus formed display unsymmetrical heteroaluminate coordination not only in the solid state but also at lower temperatures in solution, which is distinct from the behavior of the homoaluminate congeners (C<sub>5</sub>Me<sub>5</sub>)­Ln­(AlMe<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>. The effect of homo- versus heteroaluminate coordination is assessed in the coordinative polymerization of isoprene
