Abstract
Reduction of [C5Me4(SiMe2tBu)]2ScI with KC8 generates the first example of a neutral, linear metallocene of scandium analogous to ferrocene, namely [C5Me4(SiMe2tBu)]2Sc. X-ray diffraction studies, spectroscopic analyses, and DFT calculations are consistent with a Sc(II) complex. [C5Me4(SiMe2tBu)]2Sc reacts reversibly with N2 to provide the end-on (N═N)2– complex {[C5Me4(SiMe2tBu)]2Sc}2(μ-η1:η1-N2) and gives a rare example of a crystallographically characterizable Sc(III) terminal hydroxide, namely [C5Me4(SiMe2tBu)]2Sc(OH), as a hydrolysis product. The analogous linear Ca(II) metallocene [C5Me4(SiMe2tBu)]2Ca was synthesized and characterized for comparison.
