The reactivity of Li[Sc(COT'') ] (1; COT''=1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclooctatetraenyl) towards CoCl is considerably different from that of related lanthanide triple-decker sandwich complexes. In addition to the expected triple-decker complex Sc (COT'') (2), the complex Sc {μ-BTHP}(COT'') (3) is formed, which comprises the novel BTHP ligand (BTHP =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, C H (SiMe ) ). The formation of 3 is likely facilitated by the fact that scandium prefers η ,η coordination rather than highly symmetric η ,η coordination, and the η -coordinated COT'' ligand in 1 is activated owing to a loss of aromaticity. Acid hydrolysis of 3 leads to air-stable H BTHP (4).
Li[Sc(COT'')](1;COT''=1,4-双(三甲基甲硅烷基)环辛四烯基)与 CoCl 的反应性与相关镧系元素三层夹心配合物有很大的不同。除了预期的三层夹心配合物 Sc(COT')(2)外,还形成了配合物 Sc{μ-BTHP}(COT')(3),其中包含了新颖的 BTHP 配体(BTHP=双(3,5-双(三甲基甲硅烷基)-1,3a,6,6a-四氢戊并[1,2-b]噻吩-1-基)二阴离子或双(2,7-双(三甲基甲硅烷基)降冰片二烯-4-基)二阴离子,C H(SiMe ))。由于钪更喜欢η,η配位而不是高度对称的η,η配位,并且 1 中η配位的 COT''配体由于失去芳香性而被活化,因此 3 的形成很可能得到了促进。3 的酸水解导致空气稳定的 HBTHP(4)。
