Helical dinuclear 3d metal complexes with bis(bidentate) [S,N] ligands: synthesis, structural and computational studies

Abstract

A diprotic bis(β-thioketoimine) ligand precursor featuring a flexible 4,4’-methylbis(aniline) linker, H22, was synthesised via treatment of the corresponding bis(β-ketoimine) with Lawesson’s reagent. Lithiation of H22 and coordination with one equivalent...
