| To better understand cooperative outer-sphere multiple electron-transfer reactions, we have formulated a strategy for the preparation of two-electron platinum reagents. These complexes incorporate a ligand scaffold consisting of two pincer ligands that can stabilize the square planar coordination geometry of the platinum(II) and the octahedral geometry of platinum(IV), allowing for interconversion between these states by outer-sphere electron transfer. In order to fine-tune the reactivity of these compounds and better understand the role of the ligands in this chemistry, we are investigating a series of new asymmetric pincer-type ligands. The focus of this presentation will be on the synthesis and characterization of new tridentate pincer ligands and their corresponding Platinum complexes. |
