Abstract
Transition metal complexes of the mononucleating 1,3-bis(pyridylimino)isoindoline ligand (BAII) have been useful as redox catalysts and as models for naturally occurring metal centers. The redox properties of binuclear 1,3,5,7-tetra(pyridylimino)benzodipyrrole (TAII) complexes have also been investigated. Attempts to prepare 1,3,6,8-tetra(2-(4-methylpyridyl)imino)naphthodipyrrole (NTAII) using calcium chloride catalysis and solid fusion will be discussed. Divalent Cu, Ni, Zn, and Pd complexes of the mononucleating 1,3-bis(pyridylimino)benz(f)isoindoline ligand (NBAII) were prepared and the crystal structure of Cu(II)OAc(NBAII) is discussed. It is believed that the dimolybdenum NBAII complex has also been prepared. The NBAII complexes were characterized using NMR, IR, and UV-visible spectroscopy.
