Coordination ability of N,N’-disubstituted 9,10-phenanthrenediimines

详细

The ability of N,N’-disubstituted 9,10-phenanthrenediimines in neutral, monoand direduced states to act as bidentate ligands in main-group-metal and transition-metal complexes has been demonstrated for the first time. The formation of metal complexes with the radical anion form of phenanthrenediimines stabilized through the formation of contact pairs (for Li) or chelate complexes (for Rh) has been detected.
