Abstract

Partially and fully aromatic molecular spacers bearing two symmetrically bound terpyridyl chelators have been prepared. These spacer-chelators were constructed to dispose the two terpyridyl ligands and their complexes with square planar metals cofacially with a separation of about 7 Å between the two metals. Dipalladium (II) complexes of these spacer-chelators were prepared and characterized. These palladium complexes readily form large ...
