The dianionic tricyclic quadridentate Schiff base ligands derived from 2-pyridylhydrazine and 1,2diones form dimeric nickel(I1) and palladium(I1) species of a novel type, which apparently have a significant metal-metal bonding interaction, and which may be readily oxidised.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
