Recent Advances on the Chemistry of POCOP–Nickel Pincer Compounds

“…iPr P-NiCl produced in a simple manner η 6 ,η 1 -bimetallic complexes in good yields [80] (Fig. 11).…”

A cyclodiphosphazane based pincer ligand, [2,6-{μ-(tBuN)2P(tBuHN)PO}2C6H3I]: NiII, PdII, PtII and CuI complexes and catalytic studies

“…η 6 -Coordination of the organometallic fragments such as [Ru(η 5 -C 5 R 5 )] + to the central arene ring of the pincer complex to afford heterobimetallic products has been reported by Gebbink and co-workers and others. [38][39][40][41][42] Spectroscopic and electrochemical data have shown that the electrophilic organometallic fragments act as powerful electron-withdrawing groups. van Koten and coworkers have recently reported the synthesis of heterobimetallic and trimetallic complexes using a ditopic pincer terpyridine hybrid ligand.…”

Coordination of 12-Electron Organometallic Fragments to the Arene Ring of Nonsymmetric Group 10 POCOP Pincer Complexes

“…However, one major drawback lies in the difficulty in preparing nonsymmetric pincer complexes . We have recently reported the synthesis in one step of heterobimetallic POCOP pincer complexes of group 10 metals by coordination of the [CpRu] + fragment to the symmetric aromatic backbone of the phosphinite ligand . Interestingly, the coordination of the second metal moiety induced diastereotopicity in the PR 2 substituents.…”
