INOR 224 |
| Pincer-based metal complexes have shown promising reactivity and unique stability that can be controlled by ligand modification and adjustment of the metal center. Symmetrical diarylamine PNP (LXL) pincer complexes have proven to be useful as robust catalysts and encourage unusual chemistry with transition metals, specifically in the area of bond activation. Successful attempts to develop a novel asymmetrical pincer ligand have led to the development of the Si-N-P (XXL) complex, which is isoelectronic with PNP, yet holds a different formal charge. Herein, we will report the similarities of structure and reactivity, compared to those of the symmetrical PNP pincer ligands previously developed.
