Abstract

Read online

Coordination complexes based on polydentate ligands that contain both nitrogen and carbon ligating atoms are ubiquitous, but design of those with planar cores remains challenging. Here the authors show that complexes with planar CCCN, CCCCN and NCCCN cores can be accessed by modification of the coordinating atoms in CCCC core complexes.
