Abstract

Cocondensation of scandium vapour with 1,3,5-tri-tert-butylbenzene affords the first example of a scandium(0) complex, the sandwich compound bis(η-1,3,5-tri-tert-butylbenzene)scandium; ESR and UV studies also the reveal the presence of a second compound from this reaction, formulated as a similarly unique example of scandium(II) arising from activation of one of the methyl groups of a tert-butyl ring substituent.
