S. Stoccoro et al., CYCLOMETALATED DERIVATIVES OF PALLADIUM(II) AND PLATINUM(II) DERIVED FROM 6-T-BUTYL-2,2'-BIPYRIDINE, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 450(1-2), 1993, pp. 15-16
The synthesis of the cyclometallated derivatives [PdLCl] and [PtLCl] (
HL = 6-t-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine) is reported. The deprotonated bipyridi
ne is terdentate through the two nitrogen atoms and a carbon atom of t
he t-butyl substituent. The new complexes were characterized by H-1 an
d C-13 NMR and FAB-MS spectra.
