Practical Synthesis of a PCP-Type Pincer Ligand and Its Metal Complexes­

Abstract

A synthetic method for N-heterocyclic carbene- and phosphine-based PCP-type pincer ligand is described on a large scale. Some transition-metal complexes bearing the PCP-type pincer ligand are prepared and characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis.

Key words

N-heterocyclic carbene - PCP ligand - phosphine - pincer ligand - transition-metal complexes
