Abstract

Abstract : A highly phosphorescent non-palindromic (C^C^N) palladium complex may be prepared by means of a double oxidative addition – comproportionation sequence, which is a new approach for the synthesis of non-palindromic pincer complexes. Abstract : A highly luminescent non-palindromic [(C^C^N)Pd] pincer complex forms upon reacting pyridine-substituted 2, 2′-diiodo-biphenyl with [Pd(PPh3 )4 ]. This case study establishes for the first time that the title compound is formed via a double oxidative addition – comproportionation sequence. DFT and TDDFT calculations complement mechanistic and photophysical characterizations.
