A scandium metalloligand supported Ni(0) complex with a heterobimetallocycle: versatile reactivity with unsaturated bonds†
Abstract
A N2-bridged tetranuclear Sc(III)–Ni(0) complex featuring a Ni → Sc interaction and a 4-membered [Sc–N–C–Ni] ring was synthesized and characterized. Bimetallic reactivity was demonstrated via reactions with a series of unsaturated compounds containing NC, CN, CC, CO and NN bonds.
