Abstract

ScII or mixed oxidation state ScIII/ScI? Reduction of the homoleptic ScIII complex [Sc(P3C2tBu2)3] allows access to the subvalent [{Sc(P3C2tBu2])2}2] complex (see picture), in which the metal centers are formally bivalent. DFT calculations support fomulation of the reduced species as a mixed oxidation state.

Item Type:	Article
Additional Information:	Joint main author (with JF Nixon); all experimental work done at Sussex; the first report of the isolation and detailed characterisation of a scandium complex in the oxidation state of (II)- this compound thus completes the series of divalent metallocene sandwich complexes for the 1st row transition elements elements.
