Direct Access to Palladium(II) Complexes Based on Anionic <i>C</i>,<i>C</i>,<i>C</i>-Phosphonium Ylide Core Pincer Ligand

Aluminum complexes of the redox-active [ONO] pincer ligand.

A series of aluminum complexes containing the tridentate, redox-active ligand bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-phenol)amine ([ONO]H(3)) in three different oxidation states were synthesized. The aluminum halide salts AlCl(3) and AlBr(3) were reacted with the doubly deprotonated form of the ligand to afford five-coordinate [ONHO(cat)]AlX(solv) complexes (1a, X = Cl, solv = OEt(2); 1b, X = Br, solv = THF),...

Chemistry of Mixed Donor Pincer Ligand Nickel Complexes

The interplay of metal and supporting ligand in labile coordination to pincer complexes of Ag(I).

The bis(imino)pyridine scaffold provides support for the synthesis and characterization of unique Ag(I) pincer complexes [{ArN=CPh}(2)(NPh)]Ag(+)(OTf)(-) (Ar = 2,5-(t)Bu(2)C(6)H(3)3; 2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3) 4). The bonding interactions between the cation-anion and between the bis(imino)pyridine ligand and the Ag centre are presented. Coordination of pyridine, toluene, 2-butyne and cyclooctene to t...

Synthesis of Stable Gold(III) Pincer Complexes with Anionic Heteroatom Donors

A series of gold(III) complexes supported by pyridine-based bis(amidate), bis(carboxylate), and bis(iminothiolate) substituents is reported. These compounds represent rare examples of pincer-ligated gold(III) centers with multiple anionic heteroaom donors. Reactivity and electrochemical studies demonstrate the stability of these compounds and the marked difference in reduction potentials with v...

Gold (I) Complexes of 2,2'-Biimidazolate Ligand: Syntheses and Spectral Properties of Hetero-polymetallic Complexes Having Ru2Au2 Core

The reaction of [Ru(L)2(H2biim)](ClO4)2 [L1 = 2,2¢-bipyridine (bpy) or L2 =  2-(phenylazo)pyridine (pap) and H2biim = 2,2¢-biimidazole] with Au(tht)Cl (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) in presence of base in methanol produced a terametallic cationic complex [{Ru(L)2(biim)}<s...
