Abstract: | A series of new ligands with three pyridines linked into a macrocycle by various CH(2), CMe(2), and CH(2)CH(2) groups at all sites ortho to the pyridine nitrogen have been synthesized and attached to PdCl(2) or PtMe(2). The ligands bind to them through only two nitrogens, and the third pyridine is constrained in close proximity to the planar complex with a filled d(z)2 orbital. Rapid reversible migration of PdCl(2) or PtMe(2) to the unused pyridine nitrogen is observed at 20 degrees C in the case of the CH(2)-bridged macrocycle and does not occur in the case of the CMe(2)-bridged analogue, and the mechanism of this fluxionality has been established by NMR and computational techniques. |
