Structural Report for Sc[(R,R)-norephedrine-pybox](OTf)3 Dimeric Complex

Abstract The title compound containing two metal centers each complexes to one enantiopure chiral norephedrine-derived pyridyl-(bis) oxazoline (pybox) ligand and linked by two hydroxide bridges, crystallizes to give rodlike form in the space group P2₁(# 4). Cell Parameters are a = 10.2344(18) ?, b = 13.952(3) ?, c = 23.371(4) ?, β = 94.586(4)°, V = 3326.6(10) ?³. The metal-hydroxide motif forms a square plane at the center of the structure with the scandium centers exhibiting a distorted pentagonal bipyramid coordination sphere consisting of the chelating ligand and two additional triflouromethyl sulfonyloxy species positioned anti to each other. Graphical abstract The complex contains two metal centers each complexes to one enantiopure chiral norephedrine-derived pyridyl-(bis) oxazoline (pybox) ligand and linked by two hydroxide bridges.
