A simple synthesis of group 2 anthracenides and their use as reducing agents for polypnictogen ligand complexes

Chem. Sci., 2025, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D5SC04242A, Edge Article Lukas Adlbert, Martin Weber, Christoph Riesinger, Michael Seidl, Manfred Scheer By using an improved synthetic pathway, the anthracenides of the group 2 metals Ca, Sr, and Ba are straightforwardly accessible for subsequent organometallic syntheses. These highly reactive compounds are slightly...
