Abstract:Bis(phenolate) ligands with benzimidazole‐2‐ylidene (L1) and tetrahydropyrimidine‐2‐ylidene (L2) linkers proved to be suitable coordination environments for the synthesis of isolable Sc3+ chloro and alkyl complexes. The treatment of Sc(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 with equimolar amounts of [L1,2H3]Cl afforded chloro complexes L1,2ScCl(solv)2 (solv = THF, Py) in 76–85% yields. L1,2ScCl(THF)2 were also prepared by the salt metathesis reactions of ScCl3 with [L1,2]Na2 generated from [L1,2H3]Cl and 3 equiv. of NaN(SiMe3)2 (−4… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
