Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 11;60(31):4222-4225. doi: 10.1039/d4cc00547c.

Abstract

A N2-bridged tetranuclear Sc(III)-Ni(0) complex featuring a Ni → Sc interaction and a 4-membered [Sc-N-C-Ni] ring was synthesized and characterized. Bimetallic reactivity was demonstrated via reactions with a series of unsaturated compounds containing NC, CN, CC, CO and NN bonds.
