Abstract:The chemistry of transition-metal complexes with unusually high coordination numbers has been of interest because of their application in catalytic and biological systems. Deprotonation of the ionogenic tetradentate ligand 6,6′-bis(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2,2′-bipyridine [H2bipy(ttr)2] in the presence of iron(III) and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide, [n-Bu4N]Br, in solution resulted in the synthesis of a rare octacoordinated anionic mononuclear complex, tetra-n-butylammonium bis[6,6′-bis(tetrazol-1-id-5-yl)-2,2′-bipyr… Show more
