Abstract

We report herein an efficient synthesis of a series of chelating bis (aryloxide) ligands that can be diverged at a late stage to generate a variety of structures. Based on structural differences between linked and unlinked analogs of six-coordinate acid–base adducts of (ArO) 2TiCl2 (dmpe), a hypothesis predicted that a difference between the two structure types would be apparent when the compounds shuttled between four-and six-coordinate ...
