Abstract

The syntheses of seven flexible bidentate bis-pyridyl diamide and four monodentate pyridyl amide ligands containing central amide units are described. The bis-pyridyl ligands were prepared in one step from commercially available compounds in moderate to good yield. These compounds all possess external metal coordinating pyridyl groups and internal amide functionalities, with the potential to bind anions. Crystal structures of six of the bis- ...
