Metallophthalocyanin-ocenes: scandium phthalocyanines with an η 5 -bound Cp ring

A series of new scandium complexes supported by the phthalocyanine (Pc) ligand have been prepared and structurally characterized. Reaction of ScCl 3 with phthalonitrile affords a mixture of PcScCl ( 1 ) and unreacted ScCl 3 , which upon addition of LiCH(SiMe 3 ) 2 yields THF-soluble PcSc(μ-Cl 2 )Li(...

Summary:A series of new scandium complexes supported by the phthalocyanine (Pc) ligand have been prepared and structurally characterized. Reaction of ScCl 3 with phthalonitrile affords a mixture of PcScCl ( 1 ) and unreacted ScCl 3 , which upon addition of LiCH(SiMe 3 ) 2 yields THF-soluble PcSc(μ-Cl 2 )Li(THF) 2 ( 2 ). Metathesis with NaCp or LiCp* generates PcSc(η 5 -C 5 H 5 ) and PcSc(η 5 -C 5 Me 5 ), respectively, which represent the first examples of η 5 -Cp metal phthalocyanines where the Cp fragment sandwiches the metal centre.
