A new pyrrole based NNN-pincer ligand, 2,5-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylmethyl)pyrrole 2, was readily synthesized in two steps from pyrrole in 56% yield. The lithiation of the pincer ligand 2 using n-BuLi led to isolation of the dimeric lithium complex, [Liμ-C4H2N-2,5-(CH2Me2pz)2-N,N,N}]24, in 23% crystalline yield. The transmetalation reaction of 4 with [Pd(PhCN)2Cl2] afforded the mononuclear Pd(II) complex, [PdClC4H2N-2,5-(CH2Me2pz)2-N,N,N}] 5, containing one chloride ion in 45% yield. Alternatively 5 was obtained in an excellent yield of 87% by the reaction of 2 with [Pd(COD)Cl2] in the presence of triethylamine. On the contrary, a 20-membered macrometalacyclic molecule, [Pd2Cl4μ-C4H3N-2,5-(CH2Me2pz)2-N,N}2] 6, in which two PdCl2 units are bridged by two molecules of 2 to give a helical structure, was synthesized by the reaction of 2 with [Pd(COD)Cl2] in the absence of base. The acetate analogue of complex 5, [Pd(OAc)C4H2N-2,5-(CH2Me2pz)2-N,N,N}] 3, was obtained by the treatment of 2 with [Pd(OAc)2]. The pyrrole twist angle of 5 is higher than that of 3. Complexes 3 and 5 show an AB pattern for their methylene protons at room temperature in CDCl3 as well as in DMSO-d6. The variable temperature NMR studies showed that the acetate and chloride complexes exhibit slightly different coalescence temperatures, which is a solvent dependent phenomenon, and twist angles.
