Soft interactions with hard Lewis acids: generation of mono- and dicationic alkaline-earth metal arene-complexes by direct oxidation
Marcel Schorpp, Ingo Krossing
Abstract
The alkaline earths like it hard and soft! By employing a radical cationic ligand-forming oxidising agent we gained access to unprecedented mono and dicationic arene complexes of calcium, strontium and barium.
