title: Recent developments in the non-cyclopentadienyl organometallic and related chemistry of scandium.
abstract: Up to the early to mid 1990s the organometallic chemistry of scandium was dominated by cyclopentadienyl derivatives. This present article highlights advances in the synthesis and reactivity of non-cyclopentadienyl organometallic and related compounds of scandium. These include: compounds containing arene and other eta(x)-CxRx ligands; compounds with macrocyclic and fac-L3 ligands; compounds with polydentate ligands that incorporate amide donors; compounds with bidentate, monoanionic N,N' donor ligands; and compounds with iminophenolate, bis(phenoxide) and some other anionic O-donor ligands.
