New type of arrangement of rare-earth quinolinolate. Molecular structure of scandium 2-methyl-8-quinolinolate
摘要:
The tetrakis 2-methyl-8-quinolinolate scandium complex [Sc(q(Me))(4)(H)] (1) have been prepared by the reaction of ScCl(3) with 2-methyl-8-quinolinol (Hq(Me)) in methanol in the presence of aqueous ammonia. The X-ray diffraction analysis has shown that a molecule of (1) has a propeller like shape herein the Sc(III) ion is surrounded by four methylquinolinolate ligands two of which are chelate but the other two are monodentate and one of these monodentate methylquinolinolate ligands contains hydrogen atom at nitrogen atom. Furthermore there are two molecules of water per one complex molecule not coordinated to the Sc cation that is not typical for rare-earth compounds. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
