J. Wuckelt et al., Synthesis and properties of dimetallic complexes based on a new oxalamidine-derived ligand system with pendant pyridine functionality, EUR J INORG, (3), 2001, pp. 805-811
Reaction of sterically hindered bis(imidoyl)chlorides of oxalic acid with p
icolylamine afforded conformationally locked oxalic acid-derived amidines w
ith pendant pyridine functionalities. Based on this new multivalent ligand
system, dimetallic complexes were efficiently prepared.
