Synthesis of a donor molecule with metal coordination sites toward multifunctional complexes
We have synthesized a donor-type ligand 1a-1f containing a 1,3-dithiol ring as the donor site and an N,N,N-tridentate ligand for metal complexation. In the crystal phase, the planar la molecules stack along the b axis in the "head-to-tail" fashion. The Fell complex 2 shows typical paramagnetic behavior.
