Pentadentate dinucleating ligands affording bis(µ-carboxylato-O,O′)diiron(II) complexes
Abstract
New pentadentate pyridine- or imidazole-containing ligands showing dinucleating behaviour are reported: ligand LI stabilizes a diiron(II) complex in which the bridging carboxylates are linked to the capping moieties of the ligands.
