Architectural formation of a conjugated bimetallic Pd(II) complex via oxidative complexation and a tetracyclic Pd(II) complex via self-assembling complexation.
The conjugated homobimetallic palladium(II) complex [(L1)Pd(qd)Pd(L1)] (qd = quinonediimine) was obtained in a one-pot reaction by the in-situ oxidative complexation of 1,4-phenylenediamine with the palladium(II) complex [(L1)Pd(MeCN)] (H2L1 = N,N'-bis(2-phenylethyl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide) while in the absence of an additional ligand [(L1)Pd(MeCN)] was converted to the amide-bridged macrocyclic tetramer [Pd(L1)]4.
