Abstract

A topologically unique, conformationally constrained tetradentate ligand system for polymetallic coordination chemistry has been developed: tetrakis (2-hydroxyphenyl) ethene (1a) and substituted derivatives. The design exploits the planarity of the tetraphenylethylene core to impart rigidity to the roughly square oxygen binding array, while maintaining a degree of conformational mobility associated with rotation about the aryl-ethylene carbon- ...
