Crystal structures of poly(aryl ether) dendrons with palladium scorpionate complexes at their focal point
Novel palladium( II) complexes with bis(pyrazol-1-yl) methane ligands at the focal point of G0-G3 poly(aryl ether)Frechet-type dendrons are reported. The molecular structures of the metallodendrimer series G0, G1, and G2 [(dend)CH(3,5-Me(2)pz)(2)(PdCl2)] have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The three structures show a similar three-dimensional organization of the metal complex, which is progressively engulfed by the branches with increasing dendrimer generation.
