Abstract

Abstract A novel iron (III) complex (2) of a pincer ligand [1, N2, N6-bis (2, 6- diisopropylphenyl) pyridine-2, 6-dicarboxamide] was developed and used for remediation of polychlorinated solvents via sp 3–sp 3 coupling of Grignard reagents with C–Cl bonds. The use of an iron catalyst for such coupling reactions is highly desirable due to its greener and more economical nature. Complex 2 was characterized using various spectroscopic ...
