The first stable scandocene: synthesis and characterisation of bis(η-2,4,5-tri-tert-butyl-1,3-diphosphacyclopentadienyl)scandium(II)
Abstract
The first isolable example of a molecular scandium(II) complex, the dark purple scandocene [Sc(η5-P2C3But3)] 1, has been isolated from the cocondensation of scandium vapour with tert-butylphosphaalkyne, ButCP at 77 K.
