Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of homobimetallic palladium and platinum complexes of type [(Me(O)CS-4-NCN–M ← N∩N → M–NCN-4-SC(O)Me](OTf)2 (Me(O)CS-4-NCN = [C6H2(CH2NMe2)2-2,6-SC(O)Me-4]−; N∩N = 4,4′-bipyridine (bipy); M = Pd, 12; M = Pt, 13) is reported. The required bifunctional thio-acetyl NCN pincer starting compound NC(Br)N-4-SC(O)Me (2) has been synthesized by the consecutive
