Pincer versus pseudopincer: isomerism in palladium(II) complexes bearing κ(3)C,S,C ligands.
In NHC pincer complexes incorporating a hemilabile donor site, there exists an equilibrium between the true pincer form and a pseudopincer coordination isomer. The influence of the NHC moieties on this isomerism has been studied by DFT calculations.
