Dichloro[N,N′-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,2-ethanediimine-N,N′]palladium

“…-Diimines, RN CR H ÐCR H NR, have been widely used as ligands in transition metal complexes (van Koten & Vrieze, 1982;Vonzelewsky et al, 1994;Paw et al, 1998;Kaes et al, 2000;Farrell & Vlcek, 2000;van Slageren et al, 2000;Hicks et al, 2001). Several of the -diimine complexes have found application as catalysts.…”

“…[It is suggested that sch1.eps, the chemical structural drawing specific to (I) be used solely for the contents page and that sch2.eps, a more generalized representation of (I), (II) and (III) (or something like it) be used in association with the text.] α-Diimines, RN═CR′-CR′═NR, have been widely used as ligands in transition metal complexes (van Koten & Vrieze, 1982;Vonzelewsky et al, 1994;Paw et al, 1998, Kaes et al, 2000Farrell & Vlcek, 2000;van Slageren et al, 2000;Hicks et al, 2001).

Dioxaneferrocenylimine Cyclometalated Compounds as Precursors to Novel Functionalized Di- and Tetranuclear Metallacycles Leading to 1,3-Double Palladation of an η5-C5H5 Ring

“…Despite that cyclometalated complexes, particularly palladacyles, have been abundantly researched for the past decades, they continue to constitute one of the major topics within organometallic chemistry, and they are well documented for a great variety of ligands . They have been successfully used in organic synthesis, photochemistry, optical resolution processes, , catalysis, as potential biologically active materials, and liquid crystals . One of the milestones that has greatly contributed to widening the scope of these species is ferrocene; in fact, although the preparation and characterization of ferrocene, as well as the description of the metal-ring bonding, dates from the early 1950s, it is still a cornerstone for an ample range of derivatives.…”

Novel Building Blocks for Biomimetic Assemblies. Synthesis, Characterization, and Spectroscopic and Electrochemical Properties of New Bidentate Ligands Derived from Lysine and Cysteine and Their Complexes with Bis(2,2‘-bipyridine)ruthenium(II)

“…A particularly interesting and well-developed field for the application of modular approaches is the synthesis of photoredox-active assemblies to convert solar into chemical energy. Polypyridylruthenium compounds are well suited for these purposes and have been extensively used for studies in this context. − Meyer et al have reported a series of donor−acceptor complexes with a tris(2,2‘-bipyridine)ruthenium chromophore covalently attached to a lysine side chain. − Incorporation of this ruthenium unit into small peptides has been described also …”

“…Polypyridylruthenium compounds are well suited for these purposes and have been extensively used for studies in this context. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Meyer et al have reported a series of donoracceptor complexes with a tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium chro-mophore covalently attached to a lysine side chain. [18][19][20] Incorporation of this ruthenium unit into small peptides has been described also.…”
