Abstract:
Two conjugated systems that can be constrained to planarity via metal coordination have been generated and their metal complexes studied. The potential for these architectures to be incorporated into metal-sensing arylene ethynylene/vinylene oligomers and polymers was probed by verifying that these ligands (1) bind strongly to Ag(I) and Pd(II) cations, and (2) that this event leads to complexes that are planar. Single crystal structures confirm that introduction of Ag(I) or Pd(II) cations enforces planarity in the newly formed macrocycles. Likewise, (1)H-NMR titration studies reveal stoichiometric binding of Pd(II) and strong binding of Ag(I) (K(a (Ligand 1)) = 1.3 × 10(2) M(-1); K(a (Ligand 2)) = 5.4 × 10(2) M(-1)) for each conjugated ligand.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
