IR spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the structure of compound I, the three protonated diimine
molecules form a centrosymmetric trimer via N…N hydrogen bonds. The polyhedron around the Sc atom is an
octahedron with one split vertex. The excursion of the Sc atom from the plane formed by the oxygen atoms
(water molecules) toward the hydroxo bridges is 0.5 Å. The thermolysis of compound I generates ScCl3,
whereas the final decomposition product of the precursor dimer is ScOCl.
