Synthesis of an O,N,O-C Multidentate Ligand Bearing an N-Heterocyclic Carbene Towards Heterobimetallic Complexes

Key Points

• The aim is to synthesize and characterize a new multidentate ligand that includes an N-Heterocyclic Carbene and an O,N,O-coordinating system.
• Synthesize a novel O,N,O-tridentate ligand moiety with an N-Heterocyclic Carbene
• Create a palladium complex with the ligand
• Characterize the structure of the resulting complexes using suitable techniques
• The prepared palladium complex shows effective coordination with the NHC part
• Successful coordination of the O,N,O-part with titanium
• Formation of a Ti-Pd heterobimetallic complex observed in solution
