The first crystallographically characterizable complex of Sc 2+ , [Sc(NR 2 ) 3 ] − (R=SiMe 3 ), has been obtained by LnA 3 /M reactions (Ln=rare earth metal; A=anionic ligand; M=alkali metal) involving reduction of Sc(NR 2 ) 3 with K in the presence of 2.2.2‐cryptand (crypt) and 18‐crown‐6 (18‐c‐6) and with Cs in the presence of crypt. Dark maroon [K(crypt)] + , [K(18‐c‐6)] + , and [Cs(crypt)] + salts of the [Sc(NR 2 ) 3 ] − anion are formed, respectively. The formation of this oxidation state of Sc is also indicated by the eight‐line EPR spectra arising from the I =7/2 45 Sc nucleus. The Sc(NR 2 ) 3 reduction differs from Ln(NR 2 ) 3 reactions (Ln=Y and lanthanides) in that it occurs under N 2 without formation of isolable reduced dinitrogen species. [K(18‐c‐6)][Sc(NR 2 ) 3 ] reacts with CO 2 to produce an oxalate complex, {K 2 (18‐c‐6) 3 }{[(R 2 N) 3 Sc] 2 (μ‐C 2 O 4 ‐ κ 1 O: κ 1 O′′)}, and a CO 2 − radical anion complex, [(R 2 N) 3 Sc(μ‐OCO‐ κ 1 O: κ 1 O′)K(18‐c‐6)] n .
