Novel Phosphorus and Nitrogen Donor Ligands Bearing Secondary Functionalities for Applications in Homogeneous Catalysis

Iridium PC(sp3)P Pincer Complexes with Hemilabile Pendant Arms: Synthesis, Characterization, and Catalytic Activity

“…Multifunctional ligands responsible for secondary catalyst–substrate interactions play an increasingly important role in contemporary catalysis. Such ligands can be used to fine-tune the reactivity of the corresponding transition metal catalysts and enhance their performance in terms of efficiency and selectivity …”
