Thioamide pincer ligands with charge versatility.
This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of three complexes, two palladium and one platinum, with 2,6-bis-thioamido-phenyl and 2,6-bis-thioamido-pyridine ligands. The ligands show internal charge versatility by losing protons from a phenyl CH (I) or from amide NH's (II and III). The complexes were also examined as Heck catalysts, and the palladacycle, I, was found to be more effective compared to the others. The crystal structures of the complexes are also reported.
