New iron bis(imino)pyridyl complexes containing dendritic wedges for alkene oligomerisation†
Abstract
The synthesis, characterisation and catalytic behaviour of new iron bis(imino)pyridyl complexes containing dendritic wedges, as well as the synthesis of bis(para-hydroxyphenylimino)pyridines is described. The hydroxyl functionality of the bis(para-hydroxyphenylimino)pyridines was used to attach dendritic wedges of the carbosilane type as well as the benzylphenyl ether type. After attachment of the dendritic wedges, complexation of these
