Abstract
The reactivity of Li[Sc(COT'')2 ] (1; COT''=1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclooctatetraenyl) towards CoCl2 is considerably different from that of related lanthanide triple-decker sandwich complexes. In addition to the expected triple-decker complex Sc2 (COT'')3 (2), the complex Sc2 {μ-BTHP}(COT'')2 (3) is formed, which comprises the novel BTHP2- ligand (BTHP2- =bis(3,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,3a,6,6a-tetrahydropentalene-1-yl)diide or bis(2,7-bis(trimethylsilyl)bicyclo[3.3.0]octa-2,7-dien-4-yl)diide, C16 H10 (SiMe3 )42- ). The formation of 3 is likely facilitated by the fact that scandium prefers η8 ,η3 coordination rather than highly symmetric η8 ,η8 coordination, and the η3 -coordinated COT'' ligand in 1 is activated owing to a loss of aromaticity. Acid hydrolysis of 3 leads to air-stable H2 BTHP (4).
