Abstract
Various para-OH functionalized ECE–pincer metal complexes [MX(ECE–OH)Ln] (ECE–OH = [C6H2(CH2E)2-2,6-OH-4]−, E = NMe2, PPh2 and SPh) were synthesized. The X-ray crystal structures of neutral [PdCl(SCS–OH)], [PdCl(NCN–OH)], and cationic [Pd(PCP–OH)(MeCN)](BF4) are reported. The neutral halide complexes exhibit self-assembly to form polymeric chains via H-bonding involving the para-OH group as donors and
