Book Description
Ni(II) pincer complexes are among the most important and useful compounds in homogeneous catalysis. Significant advancement has been made in this field in recent years. Many Ni(II) pincer complexes have been prepared and utilized in various catalytic reactions e.g. cross coupling reactions, C-H activation, carbon dioxide activation etc. Still, nickel(II) complexes supported by the pincer ligand with three nitrogen donors are relatively less explored and catalytic applications with those complexes are scarce in literature. This thesis describes the synthesis of a new pyrrolyl pyridine based pincer ligand and its Ni(II) complexes. The pyrrolyl pyridine pincer ligand, a relatively new class of dianionic, tridentate, nitrogen-based ligands in coordination chemistry, was prepared starting with a modified method for the synthesis of pyrrolyl pyridine. This modified procedure is simpler, less time consuming making it cheaper than the classical method and provides 2,6-bis(3,5-ditolyl-2-pyrrolyl)pyridine in good yields. Reaction of its potassium salt with Ni(OTf)2 resulted in three different stable nickel(II) pincer complexes. The novel nickel(II) pincer complexes were fully characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, 13C NMR spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry. The X-ray crystal structures of the new ligand and metal complexes have been described.
