Ligand design for site-selective installation of Pd and Pt centers to generate homo- and heteropolymetallic motifs.
The modular synthesis of a series of nitrogen-rich polydentate ligands that feature a common pincer-type framework is reported. These ligands allow for site-selective installation of palladium and platinum to give rise to bi- and trimetallic complexes that have d(8)-d(8) interactions.
