Synthesis and structural studies of half-sandwich Cp* rhodium and Cp* iridium complexes featuring mono, bi and tetradentate nitrogen and oxygen donor ligands
AbstractA series of Cp*Rh and Cp*Ir complexes of various nitrogen and oxygen donorligands were synthesized and characterized. Mono, bi and tetradentate ligands were used to synthesize mononuclear and dinuclear complexes. Schiff base derivatives of picolinic hydrazine and 5-aminoquinoline were used in the synthesis of complexes 1–8. Among the ligands used for complexation, L1 and L2 act as bidentate, L3
