The synthesis and structure of the title compound are described. [{(η5-C5Me4)Me2Si(η1-NCMe3)}Sc-(PMe3)]2(μ-H)2 (3) crystallizes with a molecule of toluene per scandium in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, with a = 21.238 (3) Å, b = 11.470 (2) Å, c = 22.253 (3) Å, β = 113.16(1)°, V = 4984.0 (14) Å3, Z = 8 (four dimers), and d = 1.24 g·cm-3. Propene, 1-butene, and 1-pentene are cleanly, albeit slowly, polymerized with >99% “head-to-tail” coupling to produce linear, atactic polymers with Mn = 3000-4000 and PDI's of 1.7-2.1. Chain transfer is relatively slow and appears to occur by β-H elimination. All evidence points to a one-component catalyst system with all scandium centers functioning alike. © 1990, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
