Abstract

Direct treatment (1:1) of MCl₃ (M = Sc, Y or La) with SnCl₄ in thf pro vides colourless compounds of the type ScSnCl₇(thf)₅ and MSnCl₇(thf)₆ (M = Y, La), which have been characterised by elemental analysis and spectroscopic studies. An X-ray determination of ScSnCl₇(thf)₅ reveals an ionic structure comprising individual six-coordinate [ScCl₂(thf)₄]⁺ cations and [SnCl₅(thf)]^- anions. The cations feature an octahedral metal geometry in which a linear Cl-Sc-Cl unit is surrounded by an equatorial girdle of four solvent (thf) molecules.
