	abstract = {The pure rotational spectra of (ScBr)-Br-7 9 and (ScBr)-Br-8 1 have been measured in two vibrational states (upsilon = 0 and 1) in the 5-24 GHz spectral region, using a cavity pulsed jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The samples were prepared by ablating Sc metal in the presence of Br-2 contained in the Ar backing gas of the jet. The equilibrium internuclear distance r(e) has been determined along with estimates for the harmonic vibration frequency omega(e) and the dissociation energy, D-e. Nuclear quadrupole coupling constants and spin-rotation constants have been determined for both Sc and Br. The ionic character of the ScBr bond is estimated to be similar to 95\%. Magnetic shieldings for both nuclei have been estimated.},

	abstract = {{Reaction of ScCl2(THF)[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] with NaCp(DME) leads to Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)Cl[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (1). The X-ray crystal structure shows the scandium centre to reside in a square pyramidal environment with the [N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] - ligand bound in a pseudo-meridional fashion. The H-1 NMR spectrum is consistent with a C-s symmetric structure in solution. Metathesis of the chloride ligand with RLi (R = Me, Ph, BH4) yields the five-coordinate species Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)R[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)]. Phenyl 3 and borohydride 4 are isolated as crystalline solids, while methyl 2 resisted crystallization. 2-4 exhibit H-1 NMR spectra consistent with C-s symmetric solution structures. Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)Ph[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (3) was characterized in the solid state and found to have a similar geometry to that of the parent chloride. Reaction of Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)Me[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (2) with NH2R (R = Ph, Bu-t) yields the amides Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)NHPh[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (5) and Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)(NHBu)-Bu-t- [N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (6) via sigma-bond metathesis routes; these reactions are accompanied by a competing reaction at the scandium-amide bond to produce the protonated ligand, HN((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2) 5 and 6 are also produced by salt-elimination from the chloride 1 and LiNHR (R = Ph, Bu-t). Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)(BH4)[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (4) reacts with PMe3 to produce the putative hydride, Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)H[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (7); this species was identified in solution. An equilibrium between 4, PMe3, 7, and PMe3,BH3 exists which greatly favors the starting scandium-borohydride. Crystals of Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)Cl[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (1) are monoclinic},

Precise values of rotational and centrifugal distortion constants and of Cl nuclear hyperfine constants have been obtained. The latter have been used to examine the electronic structure of the molecule. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.},
