Donor-assisted trimethyltriel exchange gives access to Cp*<sub>2</sub>Sc(EMe<sub>4</sub>) (E = Ga, In), which represent the first scandium tetramethylgallate and tetramethylindate complexes. Thermal treatment of Cp*<sub>2</sub>Sc(EMe<sub>4</sub>) (E = Ga, In) in benzene leads to the isolation of methylidene clusters Cp*<sub>6</sub>Sc<sub>4</sub>E<sub>8</sub>(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>12</sub>Me<sub>6</sub> (E = Ga, In). This methyl group deprotonation differs from the benzene activation previously observed for Cp*<sub>2</sub>Y(EMe<sub>4</sub>) (E = Al, Ga). Treatment of Cp*<sub>2</sub>Sc(EMe<sub>4</sub>) (E = Al, Ga) with excess GaMe<sub>3</sub> in benzene at elevated temperatures generated Ga<sub>8</sub>(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>12</sub>, following the known reactivities of Cp*<sub>2</sub>Ln(GaMe<sub>4</sub>) (Ln = Y, Lu) with GaMe<sub>3</sub>. Analogous reactions of scandocene complexes Cp*<sub>2</sub>Sc(EMe<sub>4</sub>) (E = Al, In) with excess InMe<sub>3</sub> at elevated temperatures did not yield the putative homoleptic indium methylidene.

The relative energy levels of donors and acceptors, as well as the local electron density, are two important factors determining the rate of photoinduced electron transfer in donor-acceptor (D-A) systems. However, systematic studies on the structure-functional relationship regarding the local electron density factor, based on precise structural models are rarely reported. Herein, we report a strategy for fabricating donor-acceptor coordination polymers (D-A CPs) that facilitates PET and enables evaluation of reaction kinetics through local electron density modulation, using two NDI-based CPs, [Cd<sub>2</sub>(dtNDI)(HBTC)(DMF)<sub>4</sub>] (<b>1</b>) and [Cd<sub>2</sub>(dtNDI)(H<sub>2</sub>BTEC)(DMF)<sub>4</sub>] (<b>2</b>), as proof-of-concept systems.

The extra carboxylates in H<sub>2</sub>BTEC<sup>2-</sup> lower the electron density at the coordination site, suppressing charge transfer (CT) while enhancing PET, which establishes that local electron density governs PET efficiency. Compound <b>2</b> also shows exceptional 400 nm violet-light sensitivity, making it ideal for violet-light detection and filtering applications. This work provides a precise structural model for mechanistic insights into PET control.</p>","PeriodicalId":40,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":"14613-14618"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144564160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
