“…Selected bond lengths (pm): N2-N3 135.1(2), N2-C6 135.3(2), C6-C7 138.2(2), C7-C8 140.8(2), N3-C8 134.4(2), C5-C6 146.6(2), C8-C9 147.4 (2). oxidation states with the main focus on late transition metals such as cobalt [11,12], nickel [12,13], and copper [12,14] as well as molybdenum [10], ruthenium [15,16], palladium [17 -19], and platinum [19,20]. Recently, the coordination behavior of the extended ligand 2,6-bis(5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine towards d 10 metal cations was also investigated [21].…”
